Panic	Mikro-Gen;Visions Software Factory (Mikro-Gen)	1983	Super graphics and character animation are part of this highly addictive games' attraction. Trapped deep underground, with your oxygen slowly running out, you find yourself confronted by a horde of alien beings that have set up an underground headquarters, as you stumble into the bright lights of the base, the aliens are alerted. Your only hope is to trap the alien beings by digging holes at different levels for them to fall into and then battering them to death. If however they manage to survive your attack they will change colour and become more powerful, you will then have to climb higher into the structure of the alien base in order to dig two holes directly underneath one another to kill them. If you fail again they change colour once more and can only be killed by digging three holes directly underneath one another, or perhaps now is the time to PANIC!

Turmoil	Bug-Byte	1984	The mad ruler of El Khazi, Sheikh Abdul Al Kohol, has hidden in the labyrinthine chambers of his palace a fleet of fabulous motor cars. You are Mick, the King's imported scouse mechanic, and because he's only paying you in sheep's eyeballs (yuk!) you decide to steal the King's cars - his pride and joy. Firstly though, you must fill the cars with oil, because the sheikh is too mean to top them up himself. There is plenty of it in El Khazi but the wily old ruler has surrounded his fleet with his fanatical and murderous personal bodyguard. Without arousing any suspicion, you must pretend to be working by moving your tools into the workshop, while all the time you are surreptitiously pouring oil down the grid and into the cars. The object of the game is to build a car by dropping oil through the grid which is situated in the bottom left corner of the screen. To collect oil, pick up the oil can (by moving up to it) and hold it under the dripping tank at the top right of the screen. Your can will hold a few drops. Oil can be spilt from the jug anywhere by pressing the "drop oil" control. If you are not over the grid an oil pool will form and cause a fatal slip if you, or any Arab, try to cross it. Tools will appear occasionally, on shelves. A high bonus is given for returning these to the workshop in the bottom right (put down your jug on a shelf before trying to pick up the tool), but you will find this difficult to do since the untidy tools annoy the Arabs! When you have dropped enough oil down the grid to complete a car, it will drive off and leave you on the next screen. There are 26 screens in all, with many different obstacles - rope swings, lifts, moving platforms, disappearing walls, springboards, conveyor belts, etc. Some may seem impossible to complete, but if you think carefully enough you should find a route to the oil for each screen.* [152]* [6]*** [4]

Monty on the Run	Gremlin Graphics	1985	Super fit and desperate for freedom, Monty makes his daring escape from Scudamore Prison. Hounded by the bastions of law and order, our frightened hero finds refuge with the criminal underworld who offer him his chance to breath fresh air and bask in the sunlight once again. Moving from safe house to hideout to underground lair, Monty must not miss out on the hidden gold coins that will make him a mole of leisure. At last he's free but can he make the cross-channel ferry on time?* [147]* [127]* [28]* [6]* [6]* [4]* [48]* [10]
Rockman	Mastertronic	1985	Rockman wants food! Rockman likes mushrooms! Help our hungry troglodyte to collect his favourite dinner in this fast moving addictive arcade game featuring password entry to higher level screens. To get to his food Rockman will push boulders out of the way, but he mustn't collect from areas marked with a skull as these contain toadstools. Life in the prehistoric world is full of dangers so Rockman must gather the mushrooms quickly before the smiling ones can reach him.* [149]* [6]* [8]*Despite being from the same publisher and having the same cassette cover the Spectrum version of Rockman is totally different from the Commodore versions of Rockman. The Spectrum version is some kind of Manic Miner clone with the added ability to dig away rocks, while the Commodore versions are Boulder Dash clones.
