Hit Pak/£9.95 Or Elite by any other name. Not surprisingly, then, one or two of the games on this package have Elitist origins. Scooby Doo (Nov '86) was another of Snout's fave games of '86, while 1942 (Nov '86) was an unspectacular but efficient reading of the famous coin-op. And Duet, a (gasp) new game, is what was rumoured to have been Commando '86, but alas is no more. The other selections are an odd lot. Palace's platformer Antiriad was only out in January (it's still a winner), but Jet Set Willy II and Melbourne House's Fighting Warrior are eons old, and look their age. Split Personalities from Domark (Aug '86;) is a curiosity, perfect for a compilation like this.
