---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | BBC/Electron | System 8: The Pools Predictor (Blue Ribbon) | At a price of £2.99 what have you got to lose? | 90% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Molecule (Bridge) | At £6.90, it doesn't really compare with the better BBC software. | 58% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Poolster (Naigram) | At £13, I think I'll stick to using a pin. | 68% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Danger Ranger (Microdeal) | As you get better, more hazards are added... but the incentive to go on is lacking. | 90% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Cosmic Battlezones (Ultimate) | As with most Ultimate games, the sound effects leave a lot to be desired, but the games' design, addictiveness and general slickness make the Cosmic Battlezones collection a must for all games lovers. | 100% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Mr. Munchee (Softchoice) | As with all ZX81 games, the rather negative feel of the keyboard doesn't make for very long games sessions. | 95% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Toad Graphics (Timeless) | As well as giving beginners an introduction to computer programming, Toad Graphics should be interesting to the more experienced programmer who would like a change from programming in Basic. | 100% | |
![]() | Sharp MZ80K | Stock Control (Epsom) | As the program is written, a maximum of 50 items may be held on file. | 73% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Cheat It Again Joe 1 (Impact) | As one who can claim to specialise in this sort of thing, I know how long Mark must have spent devising the pokes in these compilations, and the result is very worthwhile. | 90% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Centropods (Rabbit) | As I write this review I still have a sore trigger finger from too much playing. | 94% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | The Pettigrew Chronicles (Shards) | As four games in effect for the price of one, it is good value but the games did not appeal to me. | 63% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Colossus Bridge 4 (CDS) | As Bridge tutors go, Colossus Bridge 4 seems to do the job it set out to do. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Tutankhamun's Revenge (Bug Byte) | As arcade adventures go, Tutankhamun's Revenge breaks no new ground. | 60% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Alien Destroyer (Kuma Computers) | As an ego booster for those dextrous among us or beginners, this is cheap and cheerful. | 55% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Counter Attack (OIC) | As an adult, I found the feel of the game rather slow, but I imagine that it will be popular with younger children. | 71% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | North Sea Oil (Shards) | As a role-playing game, this is quite simple and it can become a little boring after a time. | 75% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | First Aid (Eastmead Computer Systems) | As a program, it's poor. Frankly I wouldn't recommend you to buy this. | 34% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | The Visual Processor (Gilsoft) | As a means of teaching a beginner how to handle machine code, it is like using a kiddie-car to train for world championship motor racing! | 46% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Show Crazy (Ssoft) | As a first attempt using The Quill, it's quite good... At £2.95, you can pay a lot more for a lot worse program. | 75% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Educational 2 (Golem) | Area is well-designed, but a little too slow in supplying the answers to problems. | 84% |
