FARMER JACK & THE HEDGE
MONKEYS |
Bob Smith's superb follow up to the hit game
FARMER JACK IN HARVEST HAVOC. Whilst this game undeniably is inspired
by the classic 80's arcade game 'LADYBUG', it brings a genre of game never
before seen on the Spectrum to the public, as well as continuing the saga of
Farmer Jack.

CHURCH OF DEATH |
The
latest game by Chris Snowden
Many
years ago, evil vampires took possession of the local parish church and
things have never been the same since. Stories of live stock and people
going missing have been passed around the village for ages. Now its time
for the people to take back this sacred place for their own - they're all
right behind you to single handily reclaim the church.
As the
bravest adventurer from the village, it’s your quest to enter the vampire
ridden church and banish them forever. To accomplish this, you must
reconstruct the holy cross that has been shattered into pieces and throw it
into the altar to vanquish the evil spirits.
For the
COMMODORE PLUS 4 (or C16 with extra memory)

IZZY WIZZY |
The
latest game by Spectrum Ace Jonathan Cauldwell.
Having originally been
thwarted in Gloop many years ago, the Commodore
fundamentalist mutants have re-grouped, armed themselves to the teeth,
and are planning to build a time machine. Holed up in a castle, their
aim is to go back to 1982 and prevent the launch of the ZX Spectrum.
Fortunately, Izzy has used the intervening years to acquire a bronze magic
certificate and now has a few simple spells to help him in his latest battle
against these rogues. In order to succeed, Izzy needs to banish all
the mutants and blow up the castle where the mutants are building their
machine.

IRON SPHERE |
NOW CONVERTED TO THE ZX SPECTRUM
During a
particularly stormy night, a powerful bolt of lightning hit Professor Roland
Iron-Sphere's secret laboratory. This proved to be disastrous for the
Professor, as this sudden surge in electricity transported him into his own
experiment. Parts of the apparatus vaporised and mutated, while other
sections crystallised into diamonds. Your mission, should you except it, is
to control Professor "Rolly" as he tries to collect all the diamonds to
enable him to escape from the experiment. Watch out for the unstable
structures along the way, as once the Professor starts rolling he will not
be able to stop.
The concept is extremely simple, but this is
a nice little game which is fairly addictive as well and has that 'one more
go' factor. 8/10

Stop
the ever increasing tower of falling blocks from mounting up by positioning
and rotating the colours of the falling blocks. Three or more adjacent
blocks of the same colour in a horizontal or vertical line will disappear.
The game ends when the block pile reaches the top of the screen.

STRANDED |
Stranded is a puzzler type game in
which you control a strange blobby character called Moosh. The aim is to
guide Moosh to the exit, which sounds simple enough, except that each time
you step on a tile, it disappears into the cold vacuum of space below. As a
result, you need to study each level before you play, to establish your
route through the maze. To complicate matters, conveyor belts, and moving
tiles make your job more difficult! The game features very colourful
graphics and effects, smooth sprites, 32 levels and a password system.
"STRANDED is another solid
release from Cronosoft .. will keep puzzle fans thoroughly entertained"

FARMER JACK
in
HARVEST HAVOC |
Jack
loves his home-brew wine. What started as a hobby, with a lone
demijohn of elderberry wine bubbling away in the under stairs cupboard, has
become big business for him in a few short years, and the number of
allotments he owns, to grow the fruits, is getting bigger every year. Big
business isn't easy though - this year another supplier has been flooding
the market with cheap nasty wine, but Jack's wholesome organic produce still
rules the market - despite all the competition tried. But last night,
at the end of another fabulous growing season, when he had started
collecting the fruit for this year's vintage he heard a clanging of metal,
smelt the foul smell of big business, and saw huge steel monsters roaming
the allotments, trampling the paths and destroying his crops! "By eck!
Me 'arvest! It's a rum-do this!" Jack exclaimed, and off he set again to
gather his harvest, and deal with the competition's mechanical menace that
was threatening his livelihood...
"With
this and other high quality Cronosoft titles available, it might well be
time to buy yourself a Speccy if you haven't already got one working"

The story: You are Murphy, a bug-hunter inside the PC. Your
job is to remove bugs from programs inside the computer. To do this, you
must collect vital pieces of information, called infotrons. If you have
enough, you can fix it, and continue to the next bug.
The game is divided into 111 levels, starting easy, and
getting gradually more complicated, and harder to solve. Every level
features one or more puzzles, which may require a good deal of thinking, and
trying, to find the right solution. Every tile can contain an object, which
can be Murphy, an enemy (called sniksnaks and electrons), zonks, infotrons,
exploding diskettes, and other objects. The object of every level is to
collect a fixed number of infotrons, and then get to the exit as fast as
possible, without getting killed anywhere.
While there is only one goal to finish the level properly
(collect enough infotrons and get to the exit), there are usually several
ways to complete that goal, and, unfortunately, also several ways to die. If
you die, you have to restart the level from the beginning, but all
previously completed levels will be safe (phew!). You can die from making
contact with your enemies (sniksnaks and electrons), from an explosion (if
you are too close to an exploding object), or by committing suicide when you
are stuck. |

Heavily
inspired by the classic Capcom arcade game GUNSMOKE, this vertically
scrolling shoot-em-up will keep you playing for ages!
Originally written in the early 1990's by Jonathan Cauldwell, this game
finally hit the Spectrum scene in 2004
Trainspotters amongst you will notice the redesign of the original cover,
which was in fact crap, and features a WANTED picture of former Commodore
and Atari fat cat Jack Trameil. These highly collectible versions are
probably worth at least 4 pounds on EBAY. :-)
