Beau Jolly / £9.95 A really spanking collection, every game a megagame. Dandy (Dec '86) was Electric Dreams' quick-off-the-mark attack on the Gauntlet craze, and although it hasn't quite the appeal of some of the later variants, it's still a highly skilled shoot 'em up with excellent graphics. Cauldron II (Sept '86;) was a platformer with an original slant — still one of Palace's very best. Quazatron (June '86;) was another Hewson winner — Marble Madness mixed with Paradroid, if you get my drift And with Alien Highway (July '86;). Vortex's superfast reworking of Highway Encounter. and Piranha's Strike Force Cobra (Nov '86;), a very complex 3D combat game that kept Phil glued to his screen last autumn, it all adds up to a compilation of the highest calibre. Get it! |
