Admiral Graf Spee	Amsoft (Temptation)	1984	A game based on historically accurate records of the Graf Spee's killer expedition in the North and South Atlantic. An intermittent flashing pixel on your chart denotes the presence of an enemy ship in the Atlantic. The year is 1940, as Captain of the Admiral Graf Spee your task is to sink all enemy shipping in these waters using your six 11" guns and torpedoes. Search the area, locate the ship and using your instrumental display, which includes variable speed, compass headings, fuel, target distance, compass bearings, ammunition and torpedo state, manoeuvre into visual range ready for the kill BUT the enemy can take evasive action - refuelling makes your position vulnerable and British cruisers and battleships are seeking to destroy you. To make your search and pursuit a constant challenge the enemy ships are relocated whilst you take on fuel. 7 levels of difficulty from EASY to PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. [Ritchardo]* [137]* [133]* [39]* [25]***This game was a conversion of the Spectrum version by S.R. Mansfield published by Temptation Software. I did the conversion for the Amstrad CPC464 when I received a prototype from Amstrad 6 months prior to its launch. The conversion that I did was included in the 12 pack of games that came with each CPC464 and published under the Amsoft label. Unfortunately I had to return the prototype CPC464 under the terms of the non disclosure contract, what a piece of retro history that would be!!! [Neil Streeter]

Smart manoeuvring and skilful aerobatics are required to outwit the enemy planes, recovering the mystery "POW" er capsules will give your plane extra capabilities. Be prepared, enemy gunners have their sights set on you, and their pilots are prepared to die to thwart you mission. The carrier awaits your safe return — but have you the skill to survive!!??* [183]* [127]* [91]* [52]*** [39]

1943: The Battle of Midway	Go!;U.S. Gold (Probe Software)	1988	1943™ It was over 40 years ago, at the height of World War II, that the Japanese main squadron tasted defeat off the west coast of the Midway Islands. Some say that this battle greatly changed the outcome of the war, some say under different direction we may now all be living our lives under the shadow of the Rising Sun. This is your opportunity at the controls of your magnificent P38, armed with six secret weapons, to relieve the titanic struggle for supremacy against the battleship Yamato and it's legions of defences.
