Title: Burn 'Out
Not-quite-finished game which could have been really good if it was finished. As it
is I really can't recommend buying it - there is far too little gameplay. Nice
graphics and music, however.
Too fast (in my opinion) without Game On! on a Risc PC, and too slow with an ARM2 or ARM250.

Title: Cannon Fodder (£25)
Fun war game with some nice graphics, where you must guide your miniature
men around the level killing all the enemies and rescuing hostages. Spoilt by
some stupidly hard levels, unfortunately. Runs too quickly on a Risc PC without
Game On!.

Title: Carnage Inc. (£26)
This a well-designed isometric arcade adventure game with four
completely different missions providing plenty of variety, although
perhaps the difficult setting is a bit high for the last two missions.
This game isn't a world-beater - far from it - but it definitely stands head
and shoulders above most other original Acorn games. This is one of the few
original Acorn game with well-drawn graphics, although the colouring is a bit
garish at time. Some effort
has been taken over the presentation, too, with well-realised vector-graphic
animated 'films' between levels.
The game is, however, let down by pathetic sounds which consists of only two
very brief samples!
New Risc PC version is available.

Extremely original water puzzle game - superb fun, but just too short!

Plenty of variety, including mixing of different coloured fluids.
