Comments: A Defender clone of sort, scroll the space landscape in either direction, protecting buildings instead of men and shooting all the aliens floating about causing havoc. Simple graphics and sound, plus the collision detection is a bit harsh for colliding your ship with the aliens.

Comments: A quiet little game where you must jump around caverns, diffusing the bombs you come across there and avoiding the rocks and lava. Good gameplay design and reasonable graphics are hampered by the fact there are only 2 screens to play on before trying again at a higher difficulty.

Comments: Well is it a game, or is it something completely different? Something I am still trying to decide! The object of the program is to guide your spaceman round the screen creating strange patterns and getting certain objects to pass through the trails that you create. Or something. You would think it was a Jeff Minter game upon first examination. One of those curious cartridges to collect out there.

Comments: Think of the game Pipemania released some 5 years after this, and you are probably on the right tracks. However there is no time limit to compete against, just how to figure out how to connect up all the houses to the one water supply with a limited number of pipe pieces. More of an educational title for the kiddies than a proper game.

Comments: Why choose NY? Maybe the programmer came from there. Still it gives rise to plenty of skyscraper defending action as you pilot your plane shooting down the alien invaders and preventing any from laying eggs in the tunnels underneath. Basic like graphics do their job though the game is playable and entertaining, especially since you can shoot the buildings down yourself!

Comments: A cross between Snakes and pinball, in that you must guide your worm like creature around the maze, avoiding the enemy snake and shooting it with a ball that must bounce through a set of mirrors before hitting it. Well that's the explanation. Execution isn't that easy, as you must keep your eye on where the other snake is and figure out where the best place to shoot from is.

Comments: Nothing to do with the game of the same name by New Generation, this is rather dire Pacman clone. Control your trash collector round the maze, collecting the rubbish and dodging the dirt nasties roaming about. Graphics aren't all that great, and the sound is worse. Didn't like this version of that collecting game one bit.
