Comments: An action game of Epyx's famous Apshai trilogy series. Plays very much like an arcade machine, you walk round killing enemies, finding treasure, avoiding traps and casting spells. Only design fault would be the need to endlessly cycle F5 to get the action command you wish to use. Shortcut keys would have been much better. Apart from that, a decent explore and kill game, partially removed from the action RPG games of the trilogy.

Comments: A sequel to the successful Jumpman game released by Epyx earlier in the year. This time they released it on cartridge for instant access. Only twelve new levels to progress (hence the "Junior" tag), but they are quite a bit harder than before, and a few new surprises await those thinking this will be an easy task. A good solid, old fashioned platformer that gets you to think a bit on how to negotiate the levels properly.

Comments: The original before the classic sequel took everyones' wrists and joysticks unawares. Most of the components were already in place, except they were vastly improved upon. Very poor in the graphics department, mostly monochrome sprites, and the motor engine sounds like a bass kazoo. Another one for the collectors.
