---|---|---|---|---|---|
BBC Model B | Programming On The BBC Micro (Newnes) | Introduces some practical points on programming the micro including functions, subroutines, procedures, program development and program libraries. | 75% | ||
BBC/Electron | The Book Of Listings (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | These programs are intended to entertain and to teach useful programming techniques. | 83% | ||
BBC Model B | Learning To Use The BBC Microcomputer (Gower) | Will not only appeal to the new BBC Microcomputer owner but also to potential buyers since it will tell them how the BBC Microcomputer operates and performs and will help them assess whether the machine will suit their needs. | 80% | ||
BBC Model B | Sport (IQ 180) | I am a pretty keen sports fan and I couldn't think of any British sport to which this program could be applied. | 14% | ||
BBC/Electron | Thunderstruck 2 (Audiogenic) | This game is of a very high standard, is instantly addictive and will keep any adventurer imprisoned for quite some while. | 90% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Maths Topics (Cambridge Micro) | The end of term report for this collection of maths topics must read, should try harder and cover more area! | 50% | ||
BBC Model B | Archaeology (Cambridgeshire Software House) | !If you believe in taking children out and about, be it parents from home or teachers from school, then I think this program is a must; if you don't, then this might encourage you to do so. | 95% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Graph-easy (Hama) | A very well-organised and attractive package for anyone who likes to see graphs in action rather than read about them in their text books. | 95% | ||
BBC/Electron | Guided Discovery (Etna) | A good try, but a little more time spent in the planning stage would have produced a tidier and more useful end result. | 70% | ||
BBC Model B | Jet Boot Jack (English) | Very enjoyable... I'd be surprised if it doesn't achieve the success on the Beeb it has had on other machines. | 85% | ||
BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Geordie Racer (BBCSoft/BBC Publications) | Combines arcade quality movement of characters, easy-to-read text and control via menu options. Great fun. | 89% | ||
BBC Model B | Model B Invaders (IJK) | Key control is smooth, and alien movement begins slowly but gets very fast towards the end of a screen. A nice feature of the program is the variety of options that can be chosen before the start of the game. | 72% | ||
BBC Model B | Graphs And Charts (Acornsoft) | The package will appeal to anyone wanting to obtain programs covering small/medium business applications, research, self education and hobby use. I recommend you to get both the book and the cassette. | 84% | ||
BBC Model B | Planetoid (Acornsoft) | As long as you consider yourself fairly dextrous, this is a really good game. | 80% | ||
BBC Model A & B | Space Pirates (Bug Byte) | Good fun and addictive. | 63% | ||
BBC Model A & B | Chess (Micro Power) | Excellent value for money unless you have your heart set on a high resolution display. Especially recommended for Model A users. | 88% | ||
BBC Model B | Basic Programming On The BBC Microcomputer (Prentice-Hall) | A very readable book... The cheery on the top is the mine of information contained in the glossary and index. | 80% | ||
BBC Model B | The BBC Microcomputer In Control (Prentice-Hall) | Three chapters rise head and shoulders above the rest of the book: one on timing slot car races or train sets, and two on communications. They have lots of potential for practical application, and this book might be worth buying for these alone. | 70% | ||
BBC Model B | Mastermaths Software (Oxford University Press) | I can think of far more valuable uses of the computer and far better maths programs on which to spend money than this one!

BBC B/B+/Master 128 | Super Dump (Silicon Vision) | A marvellous piece of software. At last you can produce graphics printouts which genuinely look like their screen equivalents. | 90% |
