10th Frame/US Gold (YS16, 7)180/Mastertronic (YS13, 9) 1985 The Day After/Mastertronic (YS3, 7) 3-2-1/Micro-Computer (YS2, 2) A Ticket To Ride/Mastertronic (YS7, 5) ATV Simulator/Codemasters (YS24, 8) Bone jarring simulation of the cunning stunts of quad (dune buggy) racing. High action, low cost thrills and plenty of spills. Action Force/Virgin (YS25, 5) Second-hand shoot 'em up masquerading as exciting toy'n'comic licence. Not bad, but hardly gripping. Ballblazer/Activision (YS6, 8) Barry McGuigan's World Championship Boxing/Activision (YS2, 8) Beach Head II/US Gold (YS2, 9) Benny Hill's Madcap Chase/DKTronics (YS4, 6) Big Four/Durell (YS13, 9) Buccaneer/Insight (YS1, 4) Caverns Of Kontonia/Atlantis (YS9, 4) Chicken Chase/Firebird (YS2, 7) Countdown/Macsen (YS7, 8) Draughts Genius/Rack-it (YS23, 8) Proving that 'budget' doesn't have to mean 'dross', a playable cheapie, but perhaps a little on the easy side. Dungeon Dare + Classroom Chaos/Central Solutions (YS3, 4) Endurance/CRL (YS1, 8) Evening Star/Hewson (YS23, 8) A red hot and steamy train sim that's on the right track. Challenging and tricky, though less than startling graphically. FA Cup Football/Virgin (YS5, 7) Flash Gordon/MAD (YS20, 7) A three-in-one arcade game based on the comic strip hero. It may be a cheapie, but it's a bundle of fun. Force, The/Mind Games (YS8, 8) Goonies/US Gold (YS13, 8) Graham Gooch's Test Cricket/Audiogenic (YS3, 3) Great Escape, The/Ocean (YS13, 9) Greyfell/Starlight (YS16, 8) Gunstar/Firebird (YS15, 7) Head Coach/Addictive (YS11, 8) ID/CRL (YS4, 6) Incredible Shrinking Fireman, The/Mastertronic (YS5, 7) Jupiter Mission/Codemasters (YS22, 5) There are loads of great shoot 'em ups about these days - pity this isn't one of them! Kat Trap/Streetwise (YS15, 6) Kidnap/Creative Sparks (YS8, 7) Mailstrom/Ocean (YS14, 8) Martianoids/Ultimate (YS17, 6) Napoleon At War/CCS (YS14, 8) Nebulus/Hewson (YS25, 9) Cunningly complex and well programmed, John Phillip's latest is the neatest and nattiest platform variant yet. Ocean Racer/Alternative (YS21, 6) Not a bad little seaside sailing simulation, especially at the price. Octagon/Rino (YS17, 7) Oriental Hero/Firebird (YS22, 6) Ping Pong/Imagine (YS6, 8) Podder/Central Solutions (YS8, 5) Pro Golf/Atlantis (YS14, 7) Professional Snooker Simulation/Codemasters (YS15, 7) Pub Games/Alligata (YS12, 9) Rebel Star/Firebird (YS9, 7) Rothmans Football Quiz/Cassell (YS1, 7) Screen Play/Macmillan (YS3, 7) Silent Service/Microprose (YS15, 8) Sir Fred/Mikro-Gen (YS2, 7) Snodgits/Creative Sparks (YS8, 7) Sodov The Sorcerer/BugByte (YS5, 7) Space Hunter/Mastertronic (YS5, 8) Speed King 2/Mastertronic (YS14, 7) Spike/Firebird (YS8, 6) Super Robin Hood/Codemasters (YS19, 6) Surfchamp/New Concept (YS2, 7) Terra Cognita/Codemasters (YS14, 7) Thunderbirds/Firebird (YS1, 6) Treasure Hunt/Macsen (YS7, 7) Tujad/Ariolasoft (YS10, 7) Twister/System 3 (YS4, 7) Ultima Ratio/Firebird (YS21, 4) A nine stage battle platform which you alone must kerpow! To save Earth. A docile cosmic arcader from Firebird. Voidrunner/MAD (YS20, 8) A simple but sensational shoot 'em up of awesome speed and multiple levels. Not for the faint-hearted or weak-wristed. West Bank/Gremlin (YS3, 8) Wiz/Melbourne House (YS20, 7) More Gauntlet-like wizardry, but neither graphics or gameplay match the high standards of its rivals. World Cup Soccer/Macmillan (YS3, 8) |
