Title: James Pond 2: Robocod (Plus) (£26)
An excellent example of how to take a reasonably good game and convert it into something substantially less. A tiny screen, flickering raster bars and jerky movement turn this competent platformer into a game that only the least-demanding gamers will enjoy. A good game for young children since the gameplay and the (toy-based) scenario will suit them. If you buy this then make sure you get the latest "James Pond 2 Plus" version ("plus" means "we've bothered to finish it", in case you're wondering). The sound works on 16-bit sound systems, incidentally.

Title: K.V.
Tries to imitate the classic Chuckie Egg and fails dismally. The lack of variety is so real it just isn't true. Very badly designed, and a complete lack of anything approaching playability. Avoid.

Title: Karma: The Flight Trainer (£25)
Karma is one of the most eagerly awaited Acorn games - and has been for many, many years! May yet see the light of delay, although don't hold your breath. This was a rather dry introduction to the flight model. I think you really need to love physics and astronomy to enjoy this to the full! Some problems reported with StrongARM use.

Title: Last Cybermoch, The (£10)
Simple one-way scrolling horizontal platform game. Aimed at young games players and won't hold the interest of older players. Some very dodgy collision detection! Generation Design offer a free 14-day trial of their games before purchase.
