Title: Terramex
Fairly simple graphical adventure, which relies far too heavily on luck
at some points in the game. I played this lots when it first came out, however. Port
of an Amiga/ST game.

Zany platform game which looks awful in screenshots but has a peculiar
charm when you play it - the parallax scrolling is essential to its playability
since otherwise everything would blend into the background. Far too hard, however,
and lack of passwords mean that noone could possibly complete it - merely getting
to the second set of levels (out of four) is a feat in itself.

Classic quiz game complete with 'Wavesynth_Beep' music and very simple pictures. Fun for a group, however (if you can answer any of the questions, that is!).

Lovely graphics, brilliant music, great characterisation and fun
gameplay lead to one of the most enjoyable games available.
Will run on Risc PC with fix from Alex Card's web site,
or use the version on the March 1997 Acorn User coverdisc.
