Personal review

A pretty low-key release on the resurrected Imagine label, Green Beret nevertheless quickly became one of the Speccy's most-played games. It's hard to put your finger on quite why it works so well. You could certainly never accuse it of being too involved, but the utter simplicity defies you to accept that you've been killed yet again, and makes you start another game before you've realised the last one was finished.
