Alien Storm/US Gold (YS70, 75)Two-player shooter with excellent graphics and dull gameplay - much like the coin-op original really. Cecco's Collection/Hewson (YS56, 92) Fat Cat Cecco and la creme de la creme - you won't see a better compilation all year. Chip's Challenge/US Gold (YS61, 82) Hand-held console puzzler that translates well to the Spec. Crap(ish) to look at, great fun to play. Dick Tracy/Titus (YS64, 53) Very bad punch-'n'-shoot-'em-up - dreadful waste of a good licence. (Sob!) Gazza II/Empire (YS62, 87) At last a really fast soccer sim for the Speccy. Brilliant as a two-player, a let-down if you're on your own. Hydra/Domark (YS67, 49) Completely crap Tengen coin-op conversion about speedboats. Don't even think about it. Monty Python's Flying Circus/Virgin (YS58, 90) A rather spooky arcade adventure with a definite weird French feel to it - except it's British! Spiffing! Mystical/Infogrames (YS68, 74) Scrumptious-looking shoot-'em-up, but with not enough gameplay. Pictionary/Domark (YS49, 74) A bit of a dud as far as the game goes but the art package is certainly worth splashing out for. That is if you want to spend this much dosh. SWIV/Storm (YS65, 90) Addictive and very good-looking shoot-'em-up. It's not perfect, but it's still the biz. Shadow Dancer/US Gold (YS66, 85) Strong beat/shoot-'em-up conversion with a good gimmick (a fighting dog). It works. Switchblade/Gremlin (YS63, 92) Blimming huge and downright excellent platform arcade adventure. It bites and won't let go. Wheels Of Fire/Ocean (YS60, 86) The biggest driving games yet (just about). A motley crew but much better than most compilations. |
