Reviews
Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap


 * A superbly playable and compelling arcade adventure.  This solid game represents a huge challenge and is bound to cause arguments over use of the TV set!

Wanted


 * A smart shoot 'em up which puts the light gun to good use.  PLanety of blasting action with an unusual twist - one of the best Phaser games so far.

Casino Games


 * A nicely implemented compilation of games which suffers slightly from a lack of variety.  It's strange that there's a pinball machine, but no roulette wheel.  Best suited to the occasional gambling fan, or as a break from mindless blasting.
