features brawling action, though it’s a totally different type of game to those
reviewed a few weeks ago.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">After a few
months of relative inactivity, November saw me getting back on track with 20
new game reviews. This included my ‘<a href="http://mastertronic64.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/behind%20enemy%20lines">Behind Enemy Lines</a>’ mini-series, taking a
look at some Mastertronic games release on other systems. I also looked at five
different fighting games in my ‘<a href="http://mastertronic64.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/fists%20of%20fury">Fists of Fury</a>’ mini-series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Acquisitions-wise
it was a slow month as expected, but I did pick up three more games, one of
which I had suspicions didn’t actually exist!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">During last
months reviews I’ve discovered a few new decent games, most notably <b>Rad Ramp
Racer</b>, and some more complete stinkers, including <b>Jungle Story</b>. So my three
‘top ten’ lists have been tweaked again slightly with two new entries in each.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

another game from the Melbourne House back catalogue, but this one is a bona

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Edging ever
closer to completing the collection, with another hard to find title knocked
off the list...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">The latest
addition is the Ricochet re-release of the Lucasfilm Games classic <b>The Eidolon</b>.
This was another Ebay purchase, costing £4.88.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Also, as I
mentioned in my last collection update, I had a strong feeling that two of the
remaining games I need to find were never released on cassette. Of those two, I
am now 100% confident that <b>Shogun </b>was only ever released by Mastertronic on
disk in the USA, and never received a cassette release. Therefore I am dropping
that game from the list, leaving just seven to go for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">The other
game I suspect only ever got a disk release is <b>Five-a-Side Soccer</b> but I’m not
totally sure about that yet so it remains on the list for now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Finally,
this week I got my first glance at what is certainly one of the rarest
Mastertronic releases – <b>Ski Writer</b>. This word processing package sold less than
2,000 copies on cassette, and a similar number on disk, so is sure to be one of
the hardest titles to find. Unfortunately the one that popped upon Ebay this
week is the disk version, but at least I now have an idea what the packaging
might look like!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

originality and quality.</span><br />
