Title: Tanks (£25.95)
Rather simplistic fire-missiles-over-the-hill type game, but with the added bonus of allowing lots of players and upgrades if you do well, and also computer-controlled opponents. A good game for multi-players, although a bit boring on your own I expect.

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.

Title: Top Banana
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.

Title: Twin World (£20)
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.
