---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Android Two (Vortex) | Although there is only the one difficulty level, this seems to have been pitched just right - difficult enough to frustrate but not so that you want to quit. | 100% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Elementary Maths (Cottage) | Although quite pleasing, the program has a number of drawbacks. | 41% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Bimbo (Joe the Lion) | Although professionally produced, with good presentation, the concept just isn't original or addictive enough. | 81% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Omega Orb (Audiogenic) | Although I found Omega Orb a little too similar to Thunderstruck II, it is nevertheless a game well worth looking out for in its own right. | 70% | |
![]() | Sinclair ZX81 | Fastload (Softchoice) | Although I cannot vouch for the six times option, as my recorder was not compatible, the four times option certainly speeded up saving and loading time. In other words, it works. | 87% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | 1994 - Ten Years After (Visions) | Although graphics are nothing to write home about, the movement is quite smooth, and this makes for a playable game. | 95% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Nomad (Stainless) | Although described as for more advanced players, I found it did not sustain my interest for long. | 43% | |
![]() | Sord M5 | Jogging/Sidewinder (Computer Games) | Although both these are written in Basic, they feature good graphics and sound. | 80% | |
![]() | Sord M5 | Last Day Of The Earth/Mini Star Trek (Computer Games) | Although both games are very simple, they are well written and surprisingly fun to play. | 58% | |
![]() | Nintendo Wii (EU Version) | FIFA 10 (Electronic Arts) | Allows scores per hit and bomb rate to be altered, and the highest scorer can enter his name at the end of a game. | 68% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Chartbuster (Alligata) | Alligata do not come up with below par games in the first instance... When they put a bunch together for our further delectation, and at a bargain price, it is time for those who did not buy first time around to take notice. | 90% | |
![]() | Atari 400/800 | Ace-Atari Cassette Enhancer (English) | All three parts contain useful options, although the machine-coder is perhaps the least useful of the three. | 87% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Junior Maths Pack (Micro Power) | All the programs are basic but adequate. | 74% | |
![]() | Jupiter Ace | Blackjack (JRS Software Ltd) | All the practice the computer can give could prove profitable in those holiday casinos on the Costa Paquet! | 83% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Tee Off (Dragon Data) | All the interest stirred by this game was lost in my struggle with the ball. | 48% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Pinball (Microdeal) | All the graphics are hi-res, there are sound effects and the ball moves very smoothly and realistically. | 80% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Fruit Machine (Superior) | All the features that you would expect are there: hold, nudge, gamble, collect and so on. | 49% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Chess (Micro Power) | All the features anyone might want are included... A good buy. | 95% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Assembler Math (Stainless) | All the exercises could be performed equally easily using pencil and paper; the program doesn't do that much to warrant its high price tag. | 63% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Ometron (Software Projects) | All the aliens adopt the same attack strategy... Tedious much sooner than most of its type. | 63% |
