Lead Reviews:

Sky Chase
Take yourself on a sky high trip with Image Work's launch product for the Amiga. Sky Chase is a two-player air-to-air combat simulator modelled on Air Force and Navy flight training school competitions. Dakka dakka boom, as they say.
The Empire Strikes Back
Let your ST have a taste of the Empire experience - four levels of hard-hitting arcade action featuring fast vector graphics.
Mickey Mouse
The squeaky-clean Gremlin Graphics/Walt Disney game hits the ST, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64/128, with all thsoe version reviewed this month.
Tracksuit Manager
Awful title but probably the best football management game to be seen, upstaging even the ever-popular Football Manager 2
Bard's Tale III
The third instalment in the Electronic Arts fantasy series comes to the Commodore 64/128 with more spells, songs and fighting than ever before.
Revenge of Doh
Arkanoid 2 reaches the 16-bit sector with a high addictive rendition on the Atari ST. We find it hard to keep our hands off. Definitely not just another brick in the wall.
Overlander
Take Buggy Boy and push it a step further and you've got Overlander, best of the there road racing/combat games we've seen this month. Incredibly fast driving complete with frantic combat makes this the fastest ST game of four wheels.
Whirligig
Mike Singleton's latest creation shapes up on the ST this month, featuring remarkable animation and solid 3-D effects.
