Another cover tape, this time Imagine's Play For Your Life, a game which had a very mixed reception.
    Dizzy makes his debut - and an entire world wishes he hadn't...
    Spectacular wins the Fanzine of the Year competition, and Jonathan Davies and Nat Pryce join the YS team for a day.
    Proper filled 3D vector graphics arrive on the Speccy with a preview of Driller, using the Freescape graphics technique. Could be said this is the great grandfather of Doom and its ilk.
    Durell gets taken over by Elite, and Hewson hands over its marketing to Gremlin.
    Ocean continues the beginning of its new direction into being a licence-biased software house by getting the Robocop licence.
