ROUND ONES (Alternative) ROUND ONES Alternative ROUND ONES (Alternative)
A nice version of the arcade game ARKANOID where you must break down walls of multi-coloured bricks using a bat and ball. Some bricks are harder than others to destroy and some have special properties. But, be warned, it is not as easy as it sounds.

ANARCHY ZONE (Atlantis) ANARCHY ZONE Atlantis ANARCHY ZONE (Atlantis)
An unusual variant on the shoot-'em-up theme. A whole host of aliens need to be destroyed and lots of new features appear on the seemingly endless number of screens supplied. The most unusual feature is that you can attack from any angle as you rotate around the whole of the screen.
IMPACT RATING 10

THE GOLDEN FIGURINE (Atlantis) GOLDEN FIGURINE Atlantis THE GOLDEN FIGURINE (Atlantis)
An arcade adventure featuring over fifty rooms to explore. The best way to describe it is a budget version of PALACE OF MAGIC. Do battle with the mutant servants of the evil wizard to discover the stolen figurine.

TETRIS (Mirrorsoft) TETRIS Mirrorsoft TETRIS (Mirrorsoft)
An infuriatingly difficult game. The graphics are simple and the game, on first sight, looks unimpressive. It's a hard game to describe but we gave it 10 out of 10 for value when it was full price only three months ago. Well worth getting and an absolute essential for puzzle fans.

PLAN B2 (Bug Byte) PLAN B/PLAN B2 Bug Byte PLAN B2 (Bug Byte)
Both of these games deserved full price tags and received Golden Game status in Electron User which they definitely deserved. Both are excellent arcade/adventures with a very healthy amount of zapping thrown in for good measure. Highly amusing and highly addictive.

FOOTBALL MANAGER (Addictive Games) FOOTBALL MANAGER Addictive FOOTBALL MANAGER (Addictive Games)
With sales of over 300,000 units under its belt, this has to be one of the best selling games of all time. We've played this game for hours trying to get our team to the top of division one and win the FA Cup. It's a brilliant game which combines all the elements of managing a team. Many have tried to copy the formula; none have come close.

A massive text adventure which has established itself as one of the all time classics. The basic aim is to collect as much treasure as you can without being killed, but there is a lot more to it than that.
