Superb budget priced release. Well presented, with good in-game graphics and great sound. Also a fun, addictive game to play. A demo is available from Paradise (see company list). The first release version is not StrongARM compatible (unless you use StrongGuard) - return your disc (only) with two pounds to Paradise for an upgrade.

Title: Iron Lord
A curious collection of games joined together by means of a (fairly simple) graphical adventure game, with varying music and graphics throughout. The games range from various sport simulators, through two methods of exploration, to a complete strategy game! Not bad, although it doesn't take very long to complete. Recently included on an Acorn User cover disc.

Title: James Pond (£26)
This conversion of a successful, but dated, Amiga/console game appears competent but nasty gameplay bugs on level four onwards make the game unplayable (your energy is liable to plummet for no apparent reason). If you want to play this (quite reasonable) game then I suggest you look for a cheap second-hand Megadrive.

Title: James Pond 2: Robocod (Plus) (£26)
An excellent example of how to take a reasonably good game and convert it into something substantially less. A tiny screen, flickering raster bars and jerky movement turn this competent platformer into a game that only the least-demanding gamers will enjoy. A good game for young children since the gameplay and the (toy-based) scenario will suit them. If you buy this then make sure you get the latest "James Pond 2 Plus" version ("plus" means "we've bothered to finish it", in case you're wondering). The sound works on 16-bit sound systems, incidentally.
