Comment Truxton - 88%

We could be accused of being blinded by the overall brilliance of the Mega Drive thus effecting the ratings. We deny that folks - Truxton gets a very high rating 'cos it's a very good game. Simple as that.

Impossible Mission - 92%

Very playable, very addictive, very thought provoking stuff that makes a good change from blasting things. You get a real sense of achievement when you clear out a room and you've only got yourself to blame when you come a cropper.

Gauntlet - 87%

A great conversion. the game may be started to show it's age in gameplay terms but it's still jolly good. Gauntlet was one of the first games to launch a thousand clones and there's usually a good reason for copying a game. Not as good a game as Impossible Mission because you rarely need to think too much but you can't go wrong if you like simple gameplay.

Super Hang-On - 85%

There's no faulting the conversion and the addition of the extra mode of play really adds something to the game. It's got just about everything a bike racing fan could want - speed, good handling and murderous courses.

Quartet - 60%

A classic case of bad pacing that ruins what could have otherwise been a classic. It's not a disaster at all but when you look at it and play it for a while you'll see it has all the ingredients to make it one of the greats, but the potential of the game hasn't been realised.

Pro Wrestling - 76%

Like so many two-player games, thats how they're designed to be played and you're only getting your money's worth if you've got someone to play against. Great fun if you have though.
