Title: Cannon Fodder **** (£25)
Fun war game with some nice graphics, where you must guide your miniature men around the level killing all the enemies and rescuing hostages. Spoilt by some stupidly hard levels, unfortunately. Runs too quickly on a Risc PC without Game On!.

Title: Carnage Inc. ***** (£26)
This a well-designed isometric arcade adventure game with four completely different missions providing plenty of variety, although perhaps the difficult setting is a bit high for the last two missions. This game isn't a world-beater - far from it - but it definitely stands head and shoulders above most other original Acorn games. This is one of the few original Acorn game with well-drawn graphics, although the colouring is a bit garish at time. Some effort has been taken over the presentation, too, with well-realised vector-graphic animated 'films' between levels. The game is, however, let down by pathetic sounds which consists of only two very brief samples!
New Risc PC version is available.
