2112AD/Design Design (YS3, 9) 30 Games/Argus (YS6, 7) Armageddon Man, The/Martech (YS22, 8)    The slickest simulation of geopolitics yet - and it's piggin' difficult too! Battle Of Britain/PSS (YS15, 5) Brian Clough's Football Fortunes/CDS (YS16, 9) Catch 23/Martech (YS21, 9)    Simply superb wire frame action on a vast scale as you shoot it out and search the cities and swamps of a huge island. Chain Reaction/Durell (YS24, 7)    Map and blast maze game in neat 3-D but it'll look too old-fashioned to make most people melt down! Championship Baseball/Gamestar (YS21, 8)    A clever sports simulation let down slightly by the Spectrum's limitations and the obscure nature of the game. Championship Basketball/Gamestar (YS22, 8)    Clever and close simulation of a sport which lends itself to computerisation, but limited by the long game. Colossus 4 Chess/CDS (YS10, 8) Colossus Bridge 4/CDS (YS14, 8) Convoy Raider/Gremlin (YS22, 6)    Series of three interlinked mini-games disguised as an arcade wargame. Little challenge and quickly repetitive. Cosmic Wartoad/Ocean (YS3, 8) Cyrus II/Alligata (YS12, 7) Deactivators/Reaktor (YS11, 9) Deathchase/2.99 Classics (YS9, 6) Deathscape/Starlight (YS20, 9)    Ultra-fast, multi-level shoot 'em up which will have you begging for more. Should come with additional adrenaline for addicts. Deep Strike/Durell (YS14, 4) Donkey Kong/Ocean (YS14, 5) Down To Earth/Firebird (YS20, 8)    Boulderdash inspired but this tale of tactics amongst the underground tunnels is over the top value at an under the bottom price. Elevator Action/Quicksilva (YS15, 8) Equinox/Mikro-Gen (YS8, 8) Exolon/Hewson (YS20, 9)    Fast action with incredible graphics and variety. One of the best shoot 'em ups ever! Firelord/Hewson (YS12, 7) Friday The 13th/Domark (YS5, 3) Frost Byte/Mikro-Gen (YS13, 7) Gauntlet/US Gold (YS14, 9) Gunfright/Ultimate (YS3, 7) Hacker II/Activision (YS15, 9) Hijack/Electric Dreams (YS9, 8) Hocus Focus/Quicksilva (YS7, 6) Infiltrator/US Gold (YS13, 8) Iwo Jima/PSS (YS8, 7) Killed Until Dead/US Gold (YS20, 9)    Probably the best detective game ever. Take on the weird suspects and wild humour of this wholly original brainteaser. Kirel/Addictive (YS7, 9) Leviathan/English Software (YS21, 6)    Nice try at a Zaxxon-style scroller, but diagonal scrolls don't seem to work too well on the Spectrum and playability is low. Master Of Magic/MAD (YS9, 8) Movie/Imagine (YS3, 9) Nether Earth/Argus (YS16, 9) Orbix The Terrorball/Streetwise (YS14, 7) Parabola/Firebird (YS19, 8) Psi Chess/The Edge (YS10, 8) Pyracurse/Hewson (YS9, 8) Red Box Control System/General Information Systems (YS13, UNR) Red Scorpion/Quicksilva (YS19, 7) Rescue On Fractalus/Activision (YS10, 7) Roboto/BugByte (YS5, 8) Roller Coaster/Elite (YS4, 9) Sai Combat/Mirrorsoft (YS5, 8) Sailing/Activision (YS17, 7) Short Circuit/Ocean (YS17, 8) Spaced Out/Firebird (YS21, 9)    A subtle puzzle game that pits you against alien obstructions as you cross a dotty board in an addictive brain blender. Spitfire '40/Mirrorsoft (YS4, 9) Split Personalities/Domark (YS8, 9) Street Hawk/Ocean (YS12, 5) Summer Santa/Alpha Omega (YS9, 4) Super Sprint/Electric Dreams (YS24, 5)     In terms of racing games this is an old banger. For addicts of the original only. Tempest/Electric Dreams (YS15, 7) Terror Of The Deep/Mirrorsoft (YS17, 8) Theatre Europe/PSS (YS8, 8) They Stole A Million/Ariolasoft (YS13, 9) Thrust II/Firebird (YS17, 9) Trio/Hit-Pak (YS20, 8)    Sampler of games that wouldn't stand alone but are quite fun together. But you might do better with three budget games. Trivial Pursuit/Domark (YS11, 8) Uridium/Hewson (YS12, 9) Vulcan/CCS (YS16, 7) Winter Games/US Gold (YS3, 8) Xeno/A'n'F (YS14, 8) Young Ones, The/Orpheus (YS6, 7)
