Game Review – Street Hassle (1989)

Here’s another Melbourne House re-release that features brawling action, though it’s a totally different type of game to those reviewed a few weeks ago.

Game Review – Jonah Barrington’s Squash (1989)

Another sports game that is probably much more enjoyable with a second human player!

Game Review – Hacker (1989)

Another Ricochet release, and another Activision classic. It may not be my preferred style of game but you can’t deny its originality and quality.

Game Review – Alcazar (1989)

Back to the C64 reviews, and a look at the re-release of Activision’s 1985 free-roaming adventure game.

‘Behind Enemy Lines’ Game Review – American Turbo King (1989)

Back to the Amstrad now for a look at a totally different style of packaging and a driving game that can be controlled with a lightgun!

Game Review – Octoplex (1989)

This M.A.D. offering is somewhat derivative in the sound and graphics stakes, but it’s a pretty original and playable game nonetheless.

‘Olympic Sports’ Game Review – Sailing (1989)

As the country is gripped by Olympic fever, what better time to do some reviews of games based on Olympic events? Kicking things off we have this Basketball game from Sculptured Software...

Game Review – Dynamix (1989)

Ever want to play a game featuring a kinetic activator? No, me neither, but now I have, and Dynamix is it!

Game Review – Toy Bizarre (1989)

Another Ricochet release and another Activision classic…

Game Review – Raster Runner (1989)

There’s some superb music on offer in this highly-polished take on the classic Tron ‘light cycle’ genre.

‘Screen Stars’ Game Review – Transformers (1989)

Rounding off my mini-series is another Activision re-release – lead the Autobots against the Decepticons and stop their nefarious plans to create giant hippopotamuses… I kid you not!

Game Review – Rescue on Fractalus (1989)

Next up for review is the re-release of Lucasfilm’s classic space rescue simulation.

Game Review – Protector (1989)

Split-screen helicopter combat is the order of the day in my next game review.

Game Review – Mindtrap (1989)

This puzzle game doesn’t look like much but it certainly offered value for money!

Game Review – Gemini Wing (1989)

Another Arcade conversion on the Mastertronic Plus brand – will it be better than Double Dragon?

Game Review – Bomb Fusion (1989)

My next review features a single-screen platformer that reminds me of a couple of arcade classics...
