Byte Bitten	Firebird	1984	You'd like to be left alone to play "Sea King" but first, your family and friends must be bribed. They'll each give you a clue and you must search the house for the matching object and bring it back to the computer room. Most of the rooms in the house are inhabited by strange creatures and every time you bump into them you will loose one of your four lives. Once you have found a matching object and returned it to the computer room you will be left alone to play "Sea King". This gives you the chance to pilot an armed helicopter whose fleet is under constant attack from enemy choppers. You have four helicopters at your disposal and must hold off the enemy aircraft as long as possible - or return to your demanding guests!

Panzadrome: The Silicon Wars Part IV	Ariolasoft (Ramjam)	1985	The eponymous Panzadrome is an island inhabited solely by robot tanks of varying viciousness. You have been given the task of destroying all the robots on the Panzadrome... Each robot tank is remotely controlled from a central computer, from which it gets its power. Plasma vents are a central part of the power grid, and they have to be destroyed in order to knock out both the computer and tanks. The computer is well aware of this weakness, though, and wherever you find a vent there is also a strong guardian force as well. Apart from the tanks you also have to cope with heavily armed fun emplacements which fire on any intruders. Due to budget restrictions, you have been given a very sub-standard tank with a one-shot turret and stone wheels! Fortunately, factory depots are scattered around the island, each specialising in a different type of tank component. You can visit these factories and collect whatever system a factory makes. Though the robot part stores are unaware that you are an intruder, the computer's tanks will recognise you immediately and try to destroy you. Three weapons systems are available to you, although at the start you only have the worst - a on-shot turret. The others are mortars and mines, both of which must be collected from the appropriate factory. A Polycrete (TM) module is almost vital to have. Although you can avoid the enemy tank fire if you are quick enough, their (and your) exploding shells leave impassable craters in the ground. This means that it can be quite easy to get stuck between a pair of impassable craters. The solution is to use Polycrete (TM) - press P to squirt it into the crater to fill the hole. The Panzadrome itself is a 64-screen island, each screen flicking to the next when the edge boundary is reached. A scanner helps you navigate by highlighting the screen you are currently on. A short-range scanner is also shown, displaying the tanks (which you can see) and the mines (which you can't). As well as this, the status screen shows the state of repair of any equipment you may have; if something is too badly damaged you will lose it. You only have one life, and if your shields run out a direct hit on your tank will destroy it. Status bars depict shield level and other counters show the amount of ammunition.* [6]* [4]* [10]* [48]*** [8]

Cyberun	Ultimate Play The Game;U.S. Gold (Ultimate Play The Game)	1986	Cyberun is a "Thrust" type game in as much as you control a spacecraft of one form or another and have to explore a planet's surface and also explore beneath it. The object of the game is to construct your spacecraft and mine ores.* [4]* [8]*** [10]

Thrust	Firebird	1986	A brilliantly gripping arcade game requiring precision dexterity and a cool, calculating mind. Can you beat it?* [147]* [6]* [4]* [8]* [10]*You had to guide your spaceship down into the planets surface to collect balls. Along the way, you would have to fight against turrets shooting at you as well as stopping your ship from hitting the sides (by thrusting). Once you had collected the ball, it hung from your ship with a tractor beam. The ball had a gravitational effect making it very hard (but enjoyable) trying to get out. This game was also on the BBC Micro (which I played it on). A new game called Lander by Psygnosis has been based on this game.
Turbo Esprit	Durell	1986	Turbo Esprit puts you in control of a Lotus Esprit cop car, with the challenge of breaking up a drugs gang and protecting the innocent. A map is built into the car, which can instantly show the positions of the baron's cars - this is crucial because you can't interrupt them before the initial deal is done, as this will simply make them leave and try again another time. The game's environment is large and varied, with traffic lights, junctions and zebra crossings accurately implemented, and pedestrians to avoid. The roads are multi-laned, and at the end of each road you can turn across, which makes the game's perspective shift in a flick-screen manner. [Moby Games]* [6]* [150]* [147]* [48]* [6]* [62]* [42]* [4]* [8]* [10]***A 3D driving come cop game where you have to shoot the bad cars and avoid running over pedestrians. This was the first 3D game that allowed you to freely drive around a city environment and it was actually a brilliant game.
