Comments
Daley Thompson's Olympic Challenge - 72%
 * Most competant sport sim, but why is Ocean ripping off its own ideas?

The Train: Escape to Normandy - 68%
 * Watchable, though thoroughly bizarre arcade/history game.

1943 - 68%
 * Slightly outdated but nonetheless worthwhile WWII blast.

Metaplex - 42%
 * Tedious arcade collecty thing with some outdated graphics and gameplay.

Super Hero - 76%
 * Reasonable isometric 3-D romp let down by poor scrolling.

The Games: Winter Edition - 65%
 * Competant, but unremarkable, selection of snow sports sims.

Soldier of Fortune - 68%
 * Average arcade adventure with better gameplay than graphics.

Cybernoid II - 92%
 * Excellent follow-up to a fine original shoot-'em-up

Alien Syndrome - 89%
 * Exciting and stomach churning; a fast moving coin-op conversion.

Intensity - 64%
 * Clever, fast-moving but oddly unsatisfying space epic.

Leader Board Par 3 - 85%
 * Jolly decent compilation, great guff for golf fans.

Corruption - 90%
 * Super interaction with characters. Absorbing and realistic game world!

The Vindicator - 62%
 * Disappointing sequel to one of the best games of last year.

The Bobby Yazz Show - 65%
 * Interesting idea quite well implemented.

Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo - 58%
 * Pretty, but slow moving, arcade adventure.

Mad Mix Game - 74%
 * Excellent rehash of Pac-Man. Plays great, looks great, even feels great.  I say get it.

Gunfighter - 70%
 * Above average shoot-out search game. Nice graphics although the action slows a little between gunfights.
