Comments
Fernandez Must Die - 8
 * Commando clone with strategic knobs on (Fnar!) and cars and tanks and trains and bases and bombs... need I go on?

Hot Shot - 8
 * If you're looking for a futuristic sports sim, then check this one out! 'Cos Hotshot is hot!

Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo - 9
 * Not so much a rabbit stew, but the steak and chips of combat games.

Gold, Silver, Bronze - 8
 * Fiddly sports package more dependent on good timing than joystick waggling, which works on some events, but not on others.

The Vindicator - 8
 * It's as original as a single by Kylie Minogue (who?) but I could play it over and over again (the game, not the record).

Barbarian - 7
 * Fairly easy slash 'em up based on the 16-bit hit, and nowt to do with Maria Whittaker! More addictive than it looks, too.

Pink Panther - 5
 * Original, but a bit of a berm to play if you ask me.

2D Game Maker - 3
 * Designer boredom. A utility involving 3D effort to create 2D games of 1D possiblities. Perfect for masochists.

Professional BMX Simulator - 8
 * Excellent value for money simulation from Code Masters, well presented with fabby tunes.

Alien Syndrome - 8
 * Coin op conversion with squashy aliens to shoot and silly scientists to collect. Challenging and loadsa fun.

Laser Squad - 9
 * A sophisticated strategy wargame with endless possibilities. On a par with Elite for thinking warmongers.

Daley Thompson's Olympic Challenge - 7
 * A challenging, difficult sports sim with outstanding graphics but one track waggling game-play.

Peter Beardsley's International Football - 3
 * Grandslam deserve a red card for this load of (foot)balls.

The Bobby Yazz Show - 8
 * Chortle-a-minute puzzle game with some neat touches and a very professional execution. Destiny's best game so far.

Supreme Challenge - 9
 * One of the best compilations of recent months, with some of the best games of recent years. If you don't have these - buy buy buy!
