Title: Rick Dangerous (£17)
Bad port of an ancient and outdated game. Relies on you continually dying and then restarting in order to learn where fatal objects are, has awful animation, terrible graphics, tiny sprites, pathetic sound and no gameplay whatsoever. Avoid like the plague.

Title: Rise in Crime
Bit antiquated - only buy if you're capable of rewriting the startup routines to directly run the code without reconfiguring your machine (this is really easy, by the way!). Competent text adventure with the occasional picture, but probably only available second hand now.

Title: Robocatch (£8)
Simple space invaders-type shoot'em'up game with the focus on simple fun. Aimed at children and therefore a bit simple, really, for older players. Pleasant enough, I suppose. Generation Design offer a free 14-day trial of their games before purchase.

Title: Saloon Cars Deluxe (£35)
Make sure you get the later "deluxe" version. Looks superb, but is very hard to play! "Bouncing" screen is horrible, however, and not even logical. Lots of attention to detail, including windmirrors which crack on impact. Takes advantage of ARM 3 over ARM 2 and 2MB over 1MB. Separate Risc PC version which doesn't require Game On!
