General

Download Cover Tape After a bit of a weak spell on the cover game front, YS redeems itself with the utterly wonderful International Cricket from Grandslam.
    Z88 goes on sale in the USA.
    The original Street Fighter is released. The coin-op it was based on was unique in that it was controlled by pressure pads instead of a joystick. The damage you did to your opponent depended on how hard you'd pounded on the pads.
    Feature on re-release labels.
    Bargain Basement budget reviews starts.
    Piranha, publishers of the Don Preistly games, ceases trading.
    Graeme Kidd interviews Tony Rainbird, founder of the software label of the same name.
