E-Motion/US Gold (YS53, 80)
   A triffic load of balls which tests your mental and your manual skills. A real love it or hate it game.
E-Swat arcade screenshots A
E-Tracker (SAM)/FRED (YS91, 87)
   Powerful 'tracker which should go down a storm. A few awkward bits and that price mar it slightly.
ESWAT/US Gold (YS63, 68)
   So-so shoot-'em-up. A bit too easy and repetitive for its own good.
Earthlight/Firebird (YS31, 8)
   A scroller that's a cut above the rest. Most stimulating, thank you!
Earthshock/8th Day (YS19, 7)
Echelon/US Gold (YS39, 8)
   A brain-blendingly complicated space simulation with plenty of mileage in it.
Edd The Duck/Impulze (YS62, 83)
   Neat and clourful Rainbow Islands clone with a cutsie BBC puppet. Fun, but not all that original.
Eddie Kidd's Jump Challenge/Ricochet r (YS22, 4)
Edition 1/Virgin (YS59, 88)
   Two utterly good games, and two not quite so good (but not that bad either). Quite a good compy then.
Eel (PD)/Pentagram (YS84, 50)
Eidolon, The/Activision (YS15, 7)
Eidolon, The C (YS48, 35)
   As part of the The Story So Far Volume IV compilation.
Elevator Action/Quicksilva (YS15, 8)
Elevator Action arcade screenshots A
Eliminator/Hewson (YS41, 90)
   Hewson maintains its high standards with this rootin', tootin', killin', maimin', shoot 'em up. Not to be missed by arcadey types.
Eliminator C (YS47, 70)
   As part of the Christmas Collection compilation.
Elite C (YS35, 9)
   As part of the Supreme Challenge compilation.
Emlyn Hughes Arcade Quiz/Audiogenic (YS59, 32)
   A fairly neatly-designed arcade quiz marred by crap questions. (Avoid it.)
Emlyn Hughes International Soccer/Audiogenic (YS40, 5)
   Well implemented (control systems aside) but ultimately derivative football game combining action and strategy to little effect.
Emlyn Hughes International Soccer C (YS75, 35)
   As part of the Soccer Stars compilation.
Emlyn Hughes International Soccer/Touchdown r (YS80, 85)
Empire Strikes Back, The/Domark (YS33, 8)
   An accurate coin-op conversion that comes agonisingly close to being brilliant.
Empire Strikes Back, The C (YS46, 86)
   As part of the Star Wars Trilogy compilation.
Endurance/CRL (YS1, 8)
Enduro Racer/Activision (YS16, 9)
Enduro Racer C (YS38, 9)
   As part of the Fists 'n' Throttles compilation.
Enduro Racer/Hit Squad r (YS48, 86)
Enduro Racer arcade screenshots A
Endzone C (YS63, UNR)
   As part of the 4-Most Sports compilation.
Enigma Force/Beyond (YS4, 8)
Enlightenment Druid II/Firebird (YS27, 8)
   Truly magical Gauntlet variant, demonic in it's difficulty - you'll return for another spell again and again.
Equinox/Mikro-Gen (YS8, 8)
Erik: The Phantom Of The Opera/Crysys (YS26, 6)
   Average plattie that has bog all to do with A. Lloyd Webber's moneyspinner - and it's all the better for it!
Escape C (YS19, UNR)
   As part of the Six-In-One compilation.
Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters/Domark (YS55, 83)
   A barrel of laughs - very playable, quite fast and full of little graphic touches. Best in two player mode.
Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters C (YS76, 72)
   As part of the TNT II compilation.
Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters arcade screenshots A
European Superleague/CDS (YS67, 80)
   Easy-to-pick-up footie management sim, with more life that most, and plenty of clever touches.
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.
Exolon/Hewson (YS20, 9)
   Fast action with incredible graphics and variety. One of the best shoot 'em ups ever!
Exolon C (YS38, UNR)
   As part of the Space Ace compilation.
Exolon C (YS47, 72)
   As part of the Christmas Collection compilation.
Exolon C (YS56, 78)
   As part of the Cecco's Collection compilation.
Exploding Fist +/Firebird (YS38, 7)
   Rehash of the original with two opponents to fight this time, but ultimately not worthy of its predecessor.
Express Raider/US Gold (YS19, 7)
Express Raider C (YS38, UNR)
   As part of the History In The Making compilation.
Express Raider arcade screenshots A
Exterminator/Audiogenic (YS64, 73)
   Out-of-the-ordinary shoot-and-puncher that should have been better. Doesn't offer that much to do.
Exterminator arcade screenshots A
Extreme/Digital Integration (YS61, 80)
   Too short and easy, but as a demo of what the Speccy can do it's one of the games of the year.
Eye/Endurance Games (YS26, 5)
   Lackadaisical version of the board game. Strong on packaging, weak on content. I don't think you'll see Eye to Eye with this one.
