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. 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)
