F-16 Combat Pilot/Digital Integration (YS62, 92)    Well programmed, bloomin' complicated - perhaps the ultimate Speccy flight sim. FA Cup Football/Virgin (YS5, 7) Fairlight/The Edge (YS10, 9) Fairlight II/The Edge (YS14, 9) Fairly Difficult Mission/Zodiac (YS31, 8) Falklands '82/PSS (YS5, 8) Fast And The Furious, The/US Gold (YS24, 9)    Never was a game better named, you need to have the responses of a cheetah to survive this zappy classic! Fat Worm Blows A Sparky/Durell (YS13, 9) Fernandez Must Die/ImageWorks (YS35, 8)    Commando clone with strategic knobs on (Fnar!) and cars and tanks and trains and bases and bombs... need I go on? Feud/Bulldog (YS16, 8) Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun/Mindscape (YS54, 80)    Six brill tongue-in-cheek circus games, but hampered by 'probably the world's largest multiload'. Fifth Quadrant, The/Bubble Bus (YS22, 5)    Naff-ish 3-D shoot 'em up. Check first, as the lures of role-playing could prove too much for your pocket! Fighter Bomber/Activision (YS52, 92)    A real corker! One of the best flight sims around, incredibly pretty, full of things to do - the lack of dogfighting doesn't hamper things a bit. Fighter Pilot (YS37, 3)    As part of the 10 Great Games III compilation. Fighting Soccer/Activision (YS49, 76)    A short, sharp playing life, lots of fun but in the long term won't go down as a footie classic. Fighting Soccer arcade screenshots Final Assault/Epyx (YS38, 7)    If assaulting mountains appeals to you, you'll find this one pleasantly playable. Final Fight/US Gold (YS70, 77)    Arcade beat-'em-up, with chunky big sprites (which can tend to slow things down a bit). Final Fight (YS86, 38)    As part of the Super Fighter compilation. Final Fight arcade screenshots Final Matrix, The/Gremlin (YS20, 9)    An excellent arcade adventure in the Ultimate mould - witty, tough and fun to play. Final Matrix, The (YS30, 9)    As part of the 10 Great Games II compilation. Firefly/Special FX (YS28, 9)    A simply super shoot 'em up/strategy game that keeps you coming back for more. Don't be a dork - buy it! Firelord/Hewson (YS12, 7) Firelord (YS37, 7)    As part of the 10 Great Games III compilation. Firelord (YS44, 63)    As part of the Heatwave compilation. Fireman Sam/Alternative (YS78, 70)    Good fun for the younger Spec-chum. I'd question the lasting appeal though. Firetrap/Electric Dreams (YS26, 6)    Disappointing shoot and dodge game in dubious taste, with little to make you load it again. Firetrap arcade screenshots First Division Manager/Codemasters (YS70, 50)    Fairly good management sequences but the whole thing's ruined by the appalling arcade bit. First Division Manager (YS88, 70)    As part of the Supersports Challenge compilation. Fish And Chips Demo (SAM) (PD)/Electron Affinity (YS87, 72) Fish!/Rainbird (YS41, 90) Fist II/Melbourne House (YS15, 9) Fists 'n' Throttles/Elite (YS38, 8)    Not bad compilation of recent hits with one real spanker - Enduro Racer - that's worth a tenner of anyone's money! Fists Of Fury/Virgin (YS65, 60)    One goodie, 2 humdrums and a duffer. The Fury would come after buying it! Five On A Treasure Island/Enigma Variations (YS66, 83)    Really nice adventure game. Easy to understand, plenty of action, and good for beginners. 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. Flunky/Piranha (YS23, 9)    Irreverent arcade-adventure that could get winners thrown in the Tower. Perhaps a touch too difficult for its own good. Flying Shark/Firebird (YS27, 9)    Flying Shark has to be one of the most addictive shoot 'em ups ever. It certainly made my joystick sticky! Flying Shark arcade screenshots Football Director/D&H (YS23, 8)    A definite Match Of The Day for football fans. Low on action, but high on strategy. You'll be over the moon with this one! Football Manager II/Addictive (YS33, 8)    Fine sequel to the hoary old classic with a relatively simple structure, but no less playable for that. Addictive? You betcha. Football Manager III/Addictive (YS85, 70)    Decent enough, but you'd still be better off looking for the prequel. (Or come to that, the first one.) Football Manager World Cup Edition/Addictive (YS57, 82)    For fans, the best thing since the last Footie Man. The unconverted should start running now! Footballer Of The Year/Gremlin (YS15, 7) Footballer Of The Year II/Gremlin (YS50, 88)    Hugely improved rejig of the first Footballer Of The Year. Don't expect the depth of strategy of, say, Football Director, but do expect to play and play and play... Forbidden Planet, The/Design Design (YS3, 7) Force, The/Mind Games (YS8, 8) Forgotten City/Hawk Adventuring (YS22, UNR) Forgotten Past, The/Trevor Whitsey (YS24, 6) Forgotten Worlds/US Gold (YS43, 86)    Fast moving and complex shoot 'em up, slightly marred by difficult controls and a lack of real tension. Forgotten Worlds (YS62, 88)    As part of the Platinum compilation. Forgotten Worlds/Kixx (YS68, 83) Forgotten Worlds arcade screenshots Formula One Simulator/Mastertronic (YS11, 7) Four Minutes To Midnight/8th Day (YS18, 8) Foxx Fights Back/ImageWorks (YS37, 8)    Not quite cool, clear and minty. . . but still a breath of fresh air. Frankenstein/CRL (YS27, 4) Frankenstein Jr (YS68, UNR)    As part of the Quattro Cartoon compilation. Freddy Hardest/Imagine (YS25, 8)    An interesting blend of hack 'em up and arcade adventure, good value too. Freedom Fighter/Power House (YS31, 2) Friday The 13th/Domark (YS5, 3) Frogger arcade screenshots From Out Of A Dark Night Sky/Zenobi (YS37, 7) Frost Byte/Mikro-Gen (YS13, 7) Fruit Machine Simulator (YS73, 82)    As part of the Quattro Fantastic compilation. Fuddo And Slam/Zenobi (YS26, 7) Full Throttle/2.99 Classics (YS9, 8) Fury, The/Martech (YS33, 8)    A nice blend of arcade and strategy, shaken not stirred. Future Knight/Gremlin (YS14, 8)
