Two
player game of violence and robbery. Steal loot from the bank and hide it at home whilst avoiding your opposing player, his droids and the police. Forget Grand Theft Auto this was hardcore. Good graphics and sound with great playability. |

Blow the French ships out of the
water in this real-life simulation of the Napoleonic Wars (almost). For 1 or 2 players you must judge the distance between opposing ships with the wind speed and let loose your cannons. If the wind is in your favour you can set sail a fire-ship loaded with explosives that will detonate when it hits the other ship. A bit like golf. |

Pedro
the gardener. Not many games about gardening really. That Alan Titchmarsh will be jealous he's not in a game of growing crops and standing on invading pests like ants, rats and Tommy Walsh. Not the greatest of games but worth a laugh. |

You
can't beat a good dogfight. Here is an early incarnation of any combat flight simulator. Forget the fancy control sticks you only need dive, climb and fire. Two player game of highest calibre. Fantastic 2 player game makes up for functional graphics and dire sound. |

Nothing
to do with Shakespeare. Move your stick space ship around the circumference of the targetting grid and shoot those invaders into oblivion. Based on the arcade hit, for all its simplicity, it delivers the goods. Thrilling. |

| Guardian | ||
 |
The
absolute definitive Defender clone which is even better than the arcade
version. Extremely fast and smooth alien-zapping smartbomb-dropping human-saving game. Keyboard control nicely set-out and top gameplay will have you playing this for years. |

| Deathstar | ||
 |
Another
top-quality arcade conversion. Shoot the asteroids to gather bombs to fire at the deathstar when it is built. Plenty of action as droids fly about building the deathstar with patrolling guards gunning for you. Like Guardian, an all round good package. |

Yikes
! It's penguin territory. Shove the ice blocks at the roving green menaces and try to connect the 3 special blocks in a line. So much fun that your Dad will enjoy it when everyone else is playing a Half-Life variant online. |

| Repton | ||
 |
One
of the biggest Electron franchises and a copy of Boulderdash to boot. As a reptilian you must collect diamonds, like reptiles do, and avoid being squashed by boulders you might disturb. It really is a good game and quite possibly better than Boulderdash and spawned a few sequels: Repton 2, Repton Around the World, Three Reptons and a Baby. |
