State Soft Ltd |
76% (Issue 17, p48) |
Graphically unwonderful, but addictive. |
| Icon Graphix |
Audiogenic Software Ltd |
(Issue 26, p81) |
A handy screen creating tool which could prove to be a lot of fun to use. |
| Icups |
Thor Computer Software |
74% (Issue 33, p119) |
A good game, but a disappointment coming from such a well established stable as Thor and Odin. |
| Ikari Warriors |
Elite Systems Ltd |
76% (Issue 51, p104) |
If Ikari Warriors had come out when it was first advertised it would have been an amazing success - however much more is needed nowadays. |
| Illustrator, The |

The genre may be old, but there's no lack of scope. |
| Implosion |
Cascade Games Ltd |
38% (Issue 48, p14) |
Plain and boring. |
| Impossaball |
Hewson Consultants Ltd |
89% (Issue 37, p116) |
An original, addictive game that is more than just another bouncy-ball program. |
| Impossamole |
Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd |
73% (Issue 76, p40) |
The mole with the tracksuit is back in this enjoyable platform romp. |
| Impossamole |
Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd |

Recommended; especially if you're willing to persevere with it, it's a great game. |
| Impossible Mission |
US Gold Ltd |
76% (Issue 22, p88) |
A passable conversion from the Commodore original. |
| Impossible Mission 2 |
US Gold Ltd |
84% (Issue 55, p16) |
With so many improvements and expansions on the original Impossible Mission II shouldn't be missed. Immediate fun and long term addiction. |
| Incredible Adventure, The |
CRL Group PLC |
20% (Issue 5, p75) |
This adventure is incredible but for the wrong reasons. |
| Incredible Shrinking Fireman, The |
Mastertronic Ltd |
68% (Issue 28, p16) |
Not one of Mastertronic's best, but still reasonable. |
| Incredible Shrinking Sphere |

A puzzling, enjoyable maze game with lots of lasting appeal. |
| Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade |
US Gold Ltd |
76% (Issue 68, p40) |
A pleasing game as a film tie-in, as an action adventure it lacks sparkle. |
| Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom |
US Gold Ltd |
65% (Issue 46, p131) |
A coin-op conversion with little gameplay and some frustrating difficulties. |
| Indoor Sports |
Advance Software Ltd |
50% (Issue 41, p32) |
The sports chosen and their implementation let down some promising graphics. Pretty average. |
| Inferno, The |

Good. |
| Infiltrator |
US Gold Ltd |

48% (Issue 64, p32) |
Frustration caused me to give up playing long before I got anywhere near the second level. |

81% (Issue 62, p25) |
A fine adventure as well as a funny one, and should provide welcome light relief for weary adventurers. |
| Inheritance, The |
Infogrames |
86% (Issue 41, p65) |
Another popular Infograme game. |
| Insector Hecti in the Interchange |
Hi-Tec Software Ltd |
84% (Issue 91, p61) |
Neat arcade puzzler with heaps and heaps of lastability. |
| Inside Outing |
The Edge Software |
82% (Issue 49, p91) |
One of the greatest arcade adventures since Movie and The Great Escape, Inside Outing is very involving (though nothing new) and the graphics are stunningly detailed. |
| Insurgency |
CCS |
(Issue 12, p159) |
At £5.95 may be even better value than The Prince. |
| Intensity |
Firebird Software Ltd |
91% (A CRASH SMASH, Issue 57, p90) |
Designed by Andrew Braybrook (creator of Urudium among many others), Intensity combines need for both careful thought and frantic action to brilliant effect. |
| Intergalactic Cage Match |
Entertainment USA |
15% (Issue 52, p83) |
A beat 'em up not even worthy of a budget label. |
| Intermediate Level French |
Scisoft |
(Issue 20, p83) |
Plenty of options to choose from, but no better or worse than many other language study aids of this type. |
| Intermediate Level Geography |
Scisoft |
(Issue 34, p57) |
Good value for money. |
| Intermediate Level Maths |

Palace Software |
78% (Issue 78, p46) |
A smart simulator, lacking thrill power to make it smashing. |
| International Cricket Manager |
Psychaedelic Hedgehog Software |
46% (Issue 79, p41) |
Lacklustre cricket with appeal to manager fans only. |
| International Football |

49% (Issue 69, p48) |
I simply hate it. |
| International Karate |
System 3 Software Ltd |
68% (Issue 24, p23) |
Disappointing overall, given the wait. |
| International Karate + |
System 3 Software Ltd |
91% (A CRASH SMASH, Issue 49, p88) |
Vastly better than all other beat-'em-ups - even better than The Way of the Exploding Fist. The one-player game is as addictive and playable as the two-player, which makes for long-lasting appeal. |
| International Rugby |
Artic Computing Ltd |
67% (Issue 23, p154) |
Though a bit crude still quite enjoyable. |

| International Speedway |
Silverbird Software Ltd |
24% (Issue 62, p68) |
Definitely not recommended. |
| Into Africa |
Rack-It |

82% (Issue 39, p109) |
Perhaps better looking than playing, this is still a first rate game with some original touches. |
| Into the Eagle's Nest |

Technically excellent, backed with a fair bit of strategic gameplay. |
| Iron Lord |
Ubi Soft Ltd |
69% (Issue 69, p44) |
A brave attempt to produce an epic that looks good, but sadly lacks long term interest. |
| Island of Dr. Destructo, The |
Bulldog |
38% (Issue 44, p28) |
A simple, old-fashioned shoot-'em-up. |
| It's a Knockout |
Ocean Software Ltd |
39% (Issue 37, p26) |
A poor multi-player event game - Ocean would have done better to have applied some of the skills that lay behind the Daley Thompson games. |
| It's Only Rock 'n' Roll/Tomb of Dracula |
K-Tel Productions |
41% (Issue 3, p30) |
Generally poor in quality and imagination and not a recommended buy. |
| It's the Wooluf! |
Crystal Computing |
44% (Issue 5, p20) |
May appeal to younger players, a bit lacking in content and not very addictive. |
| It's TV Showtime |
Domark Ltd |
53% (Issue 89, p33) |
If yoiu can put up with lots of badly digitised graphics and animation, well, this is for you. |
| Italian Supercar |
Code Masters Ltd |
68% (Issue 75, p47) |
A good, fun arcade thrill. |
| Italy 1990 |
US Gold Ltd |

At first I didn't like it at all. However, its good points have grown on me. |
