1943/Go! (YS34, 7)
   A novel approach to a shoot 'em up. Good graphics but far, far, far too easy...
Computer Maniacs Diary/Domark (YS39, 8)
   Not so much a game, as an entertaining and occasionally useful utility.

   An accurate coin-op conversion that comes agonisingly close to being brilliant.
Foxx Fights Back/ImageWorks (YS37, 8)
   Not quite cool, clear and minty. . . but still a breath of fresh air.
Games: Winter Edition, The/Epyx (YS34, 7)
   A varied compilation: good effects, varying gameplay - for sports addicts only.
Live And Let Die/Domark (YS36, 5)
   The run-of-the-mill racing game with a Bond licence tacked on.
Samurai Warrior/Firebird (YS35, 9)
   Not so much a rabbit stew, but the steak and chips of combat games.
Typhoon/Imagine (YS36, 7)
   Fast and furious, but contains very little to make it outstanding.
