Wow! This is my favorite this year. Multicoloured cities are scrolling in 1K! Good controls and the scoring system make me play this game again and again to increase my high score. Great!! -2600fan Another classic with the twist that instead the airplane moving across the screen, the city does! -carlsson You score on the good scrolling otherwise just another bomberclone. I played 3 levels with fire only and then I got bored. -drbeep Nice graphics for this classical games -ice00 |

Very nice minigame version of the popular title, but without scrolling. No scoring. No chance to enter higher levels again, playing through all levels would take time. -2600fan Rock solid (he he) implementation of Boulder Dash. Only some sound effects missing. -carlsson Good gameplay, but to me it's 4 levels with randomly filling. -drbeep A lot of gameplay as well as good graphics for a small space. Very impressive. -Iceout5002 A perfect game. Sure one of the best minigames of those years -ice00 |

This is a nice game for two players. The ability of moving the borders offers some additional fun. No single player option unfortunately, requires two players. -2600fan The moving borders make a generic game more interesting. Even better if there had been a vs Computer mode! -carlsson Nice! -VidGam Good variation on the standard 2-player duel game. -Iceout5002 A little below average, but remember some old games -ice00 |

Nice conversion of the well known game concept of Lights Out. The levels are pretty easy and there is no challenge in the puzzles. -2600fan Decent puzzle, but the misaligned arrow (graphic error?) makes it harder than it should be. -carlsson Cursor doesn't indicate the 4 fields well. I doubted too often if I was right on the setting. Too simple for 1K. Can fit in 0.5K -drbeep Nice implementation -ice00 |

OK. -2600fan Nice graphics, a bit basic gameplay. -carlsson Almost a copy of last years winner; just shoot till you drop. Not really my kind of game. -drbeep |

A decent game, but I've never been a fan of Sokoban and they're becoming as common as Tetris once was. :-/ -carlsson A great implementation of an old favourite. Plenty of levels and neatly presented too.|| -Matt_B |

Decent maze game which gets better thanks to a good map function. -carlsson Not a particularly original idea or that much of an enjoyable game but the presentation is very slick. -Matt_B |

Very charming and unique puzzle game. Not much eye candy, but scores high on the game concept. What is this a sequel to? -carlsson Neatly found way of leveldesign. In MC you could reach must more. Try MC once! -drbeep Not the slickest presentation this year, but it seems like a rather original idea that's fun to get the hang of. -Matt_B |

Pretty Othello game, and thank you for redefined keys; the ZX Spectrum default mapping of QAOP is very unintuitive... -carlsson OK -VidGam Great user interface with plenty of options, good control and plays a pretty good game too. I can't give this less than a perfect ten. -Matt_B |

A bit too much manual moving around of the cards to make it really enjoyable. :-/ Otherwise a very nice implementation! -carlsson Very good implementation and a pretty complex game to fit into 1K. My only gripe is that the control is a little more fiddly than with a mouse. -Matt_B |

I find it a bit hard to play, but yet an interesting game. -carlsson This takes a while and a lot of pointless deaths to get into, but once the pattern emerges it's a lot more fun to explore and find all the traps. -Matt_B |

The movement is delayed somehow and frustrating. Is this compiled BASIC? -2600fan Probably a good idea on paper, but sluggish implementation and too quick action on screen - appears more like random than a game of logic and puzzle. -carlsson The graphics are badly recognizible. The keypress reacts late. Too simple for 1K. Can fit in 0.5K -drbeep It is a little difficult to see the different used forms, but the game plays good -ice00 |
