---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | BBC Model B | Starforce Lander (First Byte) | A fair but unexciting game... Lack of any documentation is lamentable. | 43% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Swoop (Micro Power) | A disappointing game - I have other versions which are far superior (although they did cost more!). | 66% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Return Of The Ring (Wintersoft) | A difficult adventure to solve but not to play and for this reason I do not recommend it for the faint-hearted. | 91% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Cosmic Kidnap (Superior) | A definite must for all "shoot 'em out of the sky" fans. | 65% | |
![]() | BBC/Electron | Condition Red (Blue Ribbon) | A couple of years ago this could have been very enjoyable; now I find it rather dated, if still fun to play. | 60% | |
![]() | BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Jet Set Willy II (Tynesoft) | A compulsive, Spectrum-type graphics, platform game that totally ignores any of the BBC's strengths but is endlessly playable. | 80% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Cassfile (Christine Computing) | A comprehensive set of instructions and an example set of data files would transform Cassfile from being just adequate to very good. | 54% | |
![]() | TI99/4A | Ancient And Royal (Mathay) | A comprehensive and generally well-thought-out game, although there are one or two things which need attention. | 88% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | Swag (Micro Power) | A complex game that takes some getting used to but which can be great fun if you have an opponent. | 85% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K | Dominoes (Micromega) | A competent version, although the author has done away with the familiar right-angled shapes produced during a game and invented an unnecessarily complicated system of his own. | 45% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Saloon Sally (Psion) | A competent but rather dull arcade game which suffers by comparison with the latest releases. | 50% | |
![]() | Spectrum 48K | Rocket Raiders (C-Tech) | A competent but not outstanding game. | 68% | |
![]() | Acorn Electron | By Fair Means Or Foul (Superior/Acornsoft) | A competent arcade combat game that deserves to do well. | 80% | |
![]() | Spectrum 16K/48K | Venture (G & J Bobker) | A compendium of simple games strung together to make a game which I am sure will appeal to a wide age group. But for £6, a little overpriced. | 66% | |
![]() | Amiga 500 | Exile (Audiogenic) | A clever blend of shooting, solving and swearing... This game is Exilent. | 88% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Wordsworth (Ian Copestake) | A clever and complex program which will probably become indispensible over the long term for its users. | 75% | |
![]() | BBC Model B | Frak (Aardvark) | A classic... and a first edition might be worth a few bob one day. | 88% | |
![]() | Oric 48K/Atmos | Picture Book (Softbacks) | A child who is still learning to spell words such as "TOY" may not be capable of loading this program and using the QWERTY keyboard. | 93% | |
![]() | Commodore 64 | Turbo Extended Basic (Aztec) | A cheap alternative to BC Basic, it's better than nothing. | 65% | |
![]() | Dragon 32 | Fishy Business (Salamander) | A challenge... Quite amusing (watch out for the red herrings!) and worth the price. | 70% |
