3D Construction Kit/Domark (YS68, 92)    Amazing. Would-be architects, city planners, and everybody else should start saving their dosh now! Action Double/Challenge (YS72, 90)    Two games on one tape that are more absorbing than a twin-pack of Dixcel. Avalanche/CCS (YS73, 82)    Why not visit Italy this Christmas? It'll be a lovely holiday, especially if you win. Back To The Future Part III/Mirrorsoft (YS63, 82)    Like BTTF2, more small games. Nothing too earth-stomping, but worth playing as a whole. Banger Racer/D&H (YS71, 52)    Okayish graphics and decent speed don't really rescue this 'un. Battle Command/Ocean (YS67, 86)    Fast, fun and, er, flippin' violent. Some of the missions could have been harder though. Big Nose's American Adventure/Codemasters (YS74, 80)    A good game. Much better than covering your bicycle with honey and inviting your friends to throw Rice Krispies at each other. Bubble Dizzy/Codemasters (YS74, 80)     Enjoyable but frustrating trip to Davy Jones' locker. Take a rolled-up newspaper with you. CJ In The USA/Codemasters (YS72, 81)    CJ is cute and cuddly but don't be misled - it's a tough, well put-together game. Chase HQ II - Special Criminal Investigation/Ocean (YS63, 71)    SCI - it's racy, pacy and lacey. But we've seen most of it before (except the lacey bits). (Oi! Come back here! Ed) Cisco Heat/Mirrorsoft (YS74, 68)    Cisco Heat doesn't take racing games places they've never been. It's not very good, really. Coin-Op Hits II/US Gold (YS66, 78)    A compilation of 5 generally alright (and very violent) games. Just teeters above average. Cricket Captain/D&H (YS67, 67)    If you like management sim and cricket, this might 'bowl' you 'over', but the appeal is limited. Cromwell At War/CCS (YS67, 74)    Solid and playable wargame. Could serve as an okay intro to the 'genre'. Darkman/Ocean (YS70, 85)    Damn good beat-'em-up - but it's very tough and you only get one life, so you might not get too far. Dirt Track Racer/Zeppelin (YS68, 73)    It won't tax the old brian cells (Brain, surely. Ed), but it's a bit of fun in an otherwise lonely world. ESWAT/US Gold (YS63, 68)    So-so shoot-'em-up. A bit too easy and repetitive for its own good. Exterminator/Audiogenic (YS64, 73)    Out-of-the-ordinary shoot-and-puncher that should have been better. Doesn't offer that much to do. Final Fight/US Gold (YS70, 77)    Arcade beat-'em-up, with chunky big sprites (which can tend to slow things down a bit). G-LOC/US Gold (YS74, 90)    As fast as you like and as tough as they come. That's me. Oh, and G-LOC is very similar. Bye bye. Gauntlet III/US Gold (YS66, 89)    Very nice 'tweaked-up' 3D version of the legendary old arcade shooter. A mapper's delight and brill in 2-player. Gremlins II - The New Batch/Elite (YS63, 72)    Platform that's too difficult and glitchy to make you really want to stick with it. Hero Quest/Gremlin (YS65, 86)    Engaging arcade adventure/good board game conversion. Hours of fun with your friends! Hudson Hawk/Ocean (YS72, 80)    It's big and it's absorbing. Sort of like a fluffy towel, really. Hunt For Red October, The/Grandslam (YS66, 66)    Hmm. The bits don't hang together as well as they should. The shoot-'em-up parts are fun though. International Speedway/Codemasters (YS74, 60)     Take it for a spin only if you're a real speedway freak (or your your name is Susanne spelt with an 's'). Jahangir Khan's World Championship Squash/Krisalis (YS65, 79)    Very nicely done squash game, but difficult. If you're not into the game you might get bored quick. Jimmy's Soccer Manager/Beyond Belief (YS73, 51)     I don't expect this will score in your goal. If it does, make sure sure it's obeyed the off-side rule! (Eh? Ed) Jimmy's Super League/Beyond Belief (YS74, 58)     Sick as a parrot or over the moon. It depends on whether you like management sims. This one is pretty okayish, actually. MERCS/US Gold (YS67, 75)    Smart and speedy, certainly. It's just a bit too easy for the seasoned campaigner. Megaphoenix/Dinamic (YS68, 53)    Perfectly playable, but too much of an expensive Space Invaders clone. Go for a budgie imitator instead. Mountain Bike Simulator/Codemasters (YS68, 67)    Not-that-bad mountain bike scroller, but you brain (or trigger finger) won't be aching too much after you've played it. Multi Player Soccer Manager/D&H (YS64, 85)    A management game, but good fun nevertheless. Neighbours/Zeppelin (YS73, 81)    It made my eyes go a bit funny, but it's a fun (and tricky) 3D Aussie soap-related scroller. OutRun Europa/US Gold (YS71, 83)    Car driving games come and go, but OutRun Europa is a classic set of wheels! Paris To Dakar Rally/Codemasters (YS69, 62)    Paris To Dakar is fast, furious and actually quite fun. Predator II/ImageWorks (YS66, 73)    A big film licence carrying on otherwise unspectacular Op Wolf-ish shoot-'em-up. Prince Of Persia (SAM)/Domark (YS69, 90)    Top-notch platform slash-'em-up, with incredible animation. As good a reason as any to buy a Coupe. RBI 2/Domark (YS66, 82)    Good representation of baseball, and a lot of fun. Don't control as much of it as you should though. Robozone/ImageWorks (YS70, 72)    Big, tough, but not very colourful game, which'll get true arcade-blaster fans hooked. Round The Bend/Zeppelin (YS73, 74)     Way out wacky fun with people on telly you've never seen. Well, I've never seen them and I'm the reviewer. So there. Seymour Goes To Hollywood/Codemasters (YS72, 90)    It's Dizzy by another name, but it's brilliant and very, very big! Simpsons - Bart Vs The Space Mutants, The/Ocean (YS72, 92)    It's big, tough and lots of fun. Get it and do the Bartman, right now! Smash TV/Ocean (YS71, 92)    Sell your family to buy Smash TV. It's the Christmas biggy, all right! Stack Up/Zeppelin (YS68, 86)    A Tetris rip-off, but a colourful, addictive and extremely entertaining one. (And dirt cheap too.) Star Control/Accolade (YS64, 85)    A bit of a split personality, this one. The strategy bit is a trifle limited, but the combat stuff's brill. Super Monaco Grand Prix/US Gold (YS65, 82)    One of the better 3D race games, although a couple of gripes knock it down a bit. Super Space Invaders/Domark (YS73, 88)    Jolly good show, Domark. Pity some of the screens are quite impossible to clear, eh? Switchblade/GBH (YS74, 93) Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: The Coin-Op/Mirrorsoft (YS72, 89)    I predict that this great Turtles game will be quite popular, even though nobody's ever heard of them! Terminator II/Ocean (YS71, 88)    Arnie strikes back! It's big, it's fun and it's one for your collection. (It's also dead hard.) Titanic Blinky/Zeppelin (YS73, 88)    If you don't get Titanic Blinky you'll be all adrift in the New Year. Total Recall/Ocean (YS63, 84)    A great game, but not quite as big as 'Big' Arnie himself. (It's not too easy either.) Toyota Celica GT Rally/Gremlin (YS64, 90)    Very smart little racing game - handsome to look at, fun to drive and fast, fast, fast! Turrican II/Rainbow Arts (YS69, 92)    Enormous multi-scrolling shooter, with bags of playability. What more could you want?! Virtual Worlds/Domark (YS69, 91)    A bumper selection of old Freescape games, with the addition of a stonking Castle Master sequel. The biz! Viz/Virgin (YS67, 76)    A lot of fun the first time you play it, but it goes downhill fast. It's not that big and it's not that good. WWF Wrestlemania/Ocean (YS73, 91)    This is it, grapple fans! If you're a fan of wrestling (or fighting in general), you'll have a ball with WWF. Wars Of The Roses/CCS (YS72, 75)    It's history in the making - get it to exercise your brain not your trigger finger! Welltris/Infogrames (YS64, 79)    It's clever, logical and fast, but looks a bit naff. Still, if you like puzzle games, you'll go a bundle.
