All in all, getting a product that ties in well with the movie appears to have been the real thought for the programmers, with gameplay behind somewhere. |

A playable and new twist on an ageing theme. |

Probably the best beat 'em up yet, playable, addictive and worth the steep price. |
| Barbarian 2: The Dungeons of Drax |

81% (Issue 60, p19) |
An epic sequel which is really more of a arcade adventure than a beat-'em-up. |
| Barbarian 2: The Dungeons of Drax |

71% (Issue 83, p53) |
A basic beat-'em-up maybe worth having just to watch the great animation. |

Mixed opinions, definitely unusual, and a good game for strategy enthusiasts who like some arcade skills thrown in. |
| Battle Command |

94% (A CRASH SMASH, Issue 86, p43) |
More of a game than a simulation, and very entertaining to boot. |
| Battle Field Germany |

42% (Issue 40, p99) |
Limited appeal in every sense. |
| Battle for Midway, The |
PSS |

A reasonable debut (though not very good value); PSS need to target their audience more directly, and stop messing about with arcade hybrids. |
| Battle of Austerlitz, The |
KW Software |
93% (A CRASH SMASH, Issue 24, p180) |
Character sketches and limited intelligence make this better than Waterloo. |

Charles Letts & Co |
(Issue 26, p76) |
Revision programs like these are, generally speaking, only as good as the student using them. Used sensibly in conjunction with other study methods, they do have a useful role to play, but it has to be understood that, on their own, these packages will not miraculously ensure A grade passes! |

An addictive simulation with plenty to do. |
| Bodyswop |
Macmillan Software Ltd/
Sinclair Research Ltd |
(Issue 14, p111) |
The 'Notes for Parents' in the package are very helpful indeed, and the program is probably as suitable for younger children as it is for the suggested age range. |
| Body Works |
Genesis Productions Ltd |
(Issue 17, p84) |
A very comprehensive package, but probably of more use for schools and colleges than for the home market. The animated graphics are superb as a teaching aid. |

Not immensely exciting to play but this is an attractive game and very challenging to master. |

Visually a good conversion, but lacking playability and addictiveness to make it a real winner. |

Tries hard to be funny and very often succeeds. |

An excellent Wargame. |

Poor, and surprising coming from the company who gave us The Forest, Greedy Gulch and Loony Zoo. |

45% (Issue 33, p116) |
A straightforward and uninspiring version of the uninspiring TV show. |

Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd |
50% (Issue 64, p80) |

AVP Computing |
(Issue 30, p47) |
A useful and enjoyable simulation program. The absence of colour if unimportant and makes the screen displays much easier to read. For encouraging thinking and the weighing up of information, this game is invaluable. |
