LED Storm/US Gold (YS39, 7)    A futuristic, vertically scrolling racing game that is only average in most areas except (EXCEPT!!) for speed - where it positively stomps on most rivals. LED Storm (YS62, 70)    As part of the Platinum compilation. LED Storm arcade screenshots Labours Of Hercules, The/T. Taylor (YS24, 8) Labyrinthion/Budget (YS5, 6) Lamberley Mystery, The/Zenobi (YS67, 80)    Recommended for... The more experienced player, who can cope with the program's occasional quirks Lancelot/Mandarin (YS38, 9) Lap Of The Gods/Mastertronic (YS10, 7) Laser Squad/Target Games (YS35, 9)    A sophisticated strategy wargame with endless possibilities. On a par with Elite for thinking warmongers. Last Commando, The/Summit (YS75, 55)     A dull spacey shoot-'em-up. You'll have more fun doing your maths homework. Last Duel/US Gold (YS39, 6)    Lip smackin', joystick jugglin', vertical scrollin', long on loadin', fast and challengin', samey shoot 'em up. Last Duel arcade screenshots Last Mission/US Gold (YS22, 8)    8-way shoot 'em up set in space. A slow but very addictive conversion from the Data East coin-op. Last Mission arcade screenshots Last Ninja II/System 3 (YS33, 9) Last Ninja II (YS74, 83)    As part of the Superheroes compilation. Lazer Tag/Go! (YS32, 3)    Unoriginal, unplayable, overpriced and generally unappealing. Laser Tag has very little going for it - stay well away... Leaderboard/US Gold (YS16, 9) Leaderboard (YS37, 8)    As part of the 10 Great Games III compilation. Leaderboard (YS38, UNR)    As part of the History In The Making compilation. Leaderboard Tournament/US Gold (YS20, 8)    Lethally hard follow-up for Leader Board addicts. Beginners beware, but Speccy Severianos should love it. Lee Enfield Is Space Ace/Infogrames (YS30, 5)    Prohibition revisited - it's all too similar and not a fraction as stylish. Not recommended. Legend Of Apache Gold, The/Incentive (YS15, 6) Legend Of Kage/Imagine (YS14, 7) Legend Of Kage arcade screenshots Legend Of The Amazon Women/US Gold (YS7, 8) Legendary Spectrum Demo (PD)/Pentagram (YS85, 86) Legions Of Death/Lothlorien (YS18, 8) Lemmings/Psygnosis (YS73, 91)    Whizzy, super and chock full of furry animals with long hair. Groovesome. 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. Licence To Kill/Domark (YS45, 79)    Surprisingly playable and addictive Bond tie-in with six separate gamelets, all in a Vindicatorish shoot 'em up mould. Hopelessly unoriginal, of course, but neatly put together. Licence To Kill (YS57, 74)    As part of the Heroes compilation. Life-Term/Alternative (YS24, 6) Light Corridor, The/Infogrames (YS64, 80)    Not at all easy squash-like affair, with really good game-maker. Well worth wasting some time on! Lightforce/FTL (YS12, 7) Lightforce (YS23, 8)    As part of the Six-Pak Vol 2 compilation. Lightforce (YS47, 67)    As part of the Christmas Collection compilation. Line Of Fire/US Gold (YS61, 72)    Disappointing Op Wolf variant that claims to be different but isn't at all really. Little Computer People/Activision (YS16, 9) Little Puff In Dragon Land (YS68, UNR)    As part of the Quattro Cartoon compilation. Live And Let Die/Domark (YS36, 5)    The run-of-the-mill racing game with a Bond licence tacked on. Live And Let Die (YS44, 58)    As part of the The Story So Far Volume II compilation. Living Daylights, The/Domark (YS21, 6)    You're unlikely to be shaken or stirred by this bit of Bondage - even Roger Moore would raise an eyebrow! Livingstone, I Presume/Alligata (YS19, 7) Lone Wolf - The Mirror Of Death/Audiogenic (YS65, 92)    A treat for the eyes, a joy to the ears and a blinking great (but tough) arcade adventure to boot. Loopz/Audiogenic (YS64, 77)    A pleasantly approachable puzzle game, but nothing more. Lord Of The Rings/Melbourne House (YS4, 9) Lord Of The Rings (YS49, UNR)    As part of the The Tolkien Trilogy compilation. Lords Of Chaos/Blade (YS54, 90)    A brill sword and sorcery strategy game. Loads of depth, pretty easy to get into and nicely presented. Lost Dragon, The/Tartan (YS68, 80)    Recommended for... Anyone with a sense of humour. An easy game to understand. Lost Ruby, The/Wrightchoice (YS23, 6) Lost Tomb Of Ananka, The/Zenobi (YS90, 99) Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge/Gremlin (YS61, 90)    Very fast and pretty smooth driving game, with interesting (but slower) two-player option. Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (YS73, 84)    As part of the Chart Attack compilation. Lunar Jetman (YS33, UNR)    As part of the Ultimate: The Collected Works compilation. Lyra III Demo (SAM) (PD), The/ESI (YS91, 62)
