NARC/Ocean (YS62, 72)    Violent, repetitive and morally dubious shoot-'em-up based on popular arcade game. A hit (sadly). NARC/Hit Squad (YS82, 31) NARC arcade screenshots NATO Assault/Astros Productions (YS29, 7) NOMAD/Ocean (YS3, 9) Nanodemo (PD)/Jacek Michalak and the Cat-Man (YS87, 70) Napoleon At War/CCS (YS14, 8) Narco Police/Dinamic (YS64, 83)    A 'strategy' shoot-'em-up with good looks and brains too! Navy Moves/Dinamic (YS42, 81)    A corkendous follow up to Army Moves, for those who don't mind investing six squillion years in getting past level one (i.e. it's hard). Navy Seals/Ocean (YS62, 86)    Half unspectacular runaround, half snazzy multilevel shoot-'em-up. Rather excellent really. Nebulus/Hewson (YS25, 9)    Cunningly complex and well programmed, John Phillip's latest is the neatest and nattiest platform variant yet. Nebulus (YS44, 92)    As part of the Heatwave compilation. Ned's Garden (YS6, UNR)    As part of the 30 Games compilation. Neighbours/Zeppelin (YS73, 81)    It made my eyes go a bit funny, but it's a fun (and tricky) 3D Aussie soap-related scroller. Nemesis/Konami (YS18, 8) Nemesis The Warlock/Martech (YS19, 9) Nemesis arcade screenshots Nether Earth/Argus (YS16, 9) Netherworld/Hewson (YS38, 8)    Boulderdash minus Rockford and gravity, plus a polo mint and sci-fi storyline. Flickering graphics but brilliantly balanced gameplay and - man! - it is addictive. Netherworld (YS44, 61)    As part of the Heatwave compilation. Never-Ending Story II, The/Linel (YS77, 40)    It ties in well with the film. And it looks quite nice. But it doesn't actually do much, does it? New York Warriors/Virgin (YS59, 62)    An okayish scrolling shooter that loses out by being a bit crap. New Zealand Story, The/Ocean (YS45, 93)    Totally screwy. Totally wacky. Sickenly cute and rather marvellous. Can I have another go please? Nick Faldo Plays The Open/BugByte (YS22, 6) Nick Faldo Plays The Open (YS38, UNR)    As part of the Game Set And Match II compilation. Nigel Mansell's Grand Prix/Martech (YS28, 6)    A very clever simulation, but it ain't a game. Let down only by the fact that it takes ages to get anywhere... Nigel Mansell's World Championship/Gremlin (YS87, 80)    Little wrong with it, but nothing that makes you think this is something to be treasured for ever. Good clean competent fun. Night Hunter/Ubisoft (YS57, 74)    A not-all-that-original arcade game given a new(ish) lease of life by a pointy pair of false teeth. Night Raider/Gremlin (YS34, 7)    A cross between a tactical shoot 'em up and a flight simulation that hasn't quite come off in the 'absorbing' department. Night Shift/US Gold (YS65, 89)    Seemingly impenetrable factory game that's actually jolly good indeed. Nightbreed/Ocean (YS58, 86)    A rather large, rather clever and rather spooky film conversion. Bravo! Nightmare Rally/Ocean (YS11, 9) Nightshade (YS33, UNR)    As part of the Ultimate: The Collected Works compilation. Nihilist/Electric Dreams (YS25, 7)    Well implemented arcade adventure (with distinctly zappy elements) in the style of Paradroid and virtually everything else! Ninja/Mastertronic (YS15, 5) Ninja Hamster/CRL (YS22, 8)    A superb cartoon-style martial arts game with a unique combination of fast, gritty action and an oddball sense of humour. Ninja Scooter Simulator/Firebird (YS31, 6) Ninja Spirit/Activision (YS53, 71)    What could have been a neat arcade slash-'em-up is practically ruined by confused graphics. Silly. Ninja Spirit (YS66, 71)    As part of the Coin-Op Hits II compilation. Ninja Spirit arcade screenshots Ninja Warriors/Virgin (YS49, 70)    Maybe I couldn't expect more from the Speccy conversion of such a big arcade game, but for me it's a disappointing hack-'em-up scroller. Ninja Warriors (YS65, 67)    As part of the Fists Of Fury compilation. Ninja Warriors arcade screenshots No More Intelligence - The Trilogy (PD)/Dynamite Dynastie (YS81, 90) North And South/Infogrames (YS63, 90)    Juicy strategy/arcade game, brill with two-player option. Colourful, clever and a lorra, lorra fun! Northstar/Gremlin (YS28, 6)    Slowish Exolon-style scroller that's long on style but short on originality. Not bad, though. Northstar (YS38, UNR)    As part of the Space Ace compilation. Nosferatu/Piranha (YS13, 9) Nuclear Countdown/Atlantis (YS15, 8)
