Bubble Bus' old Atic Atac clone is now looking very elderly indeed (May '85). but that hasn't stopped Beau Jolly disinterring it for their Division 2 compilation. The real peach here is Starstrike II (June '86), a much neglected Star Wars-inspired shoot 'em up with superb solid modelled vector graphics. When you consider that the whole package retails for just £6.95, you can see we're talking Serious Bargain here. You also get Global's Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes (June '86), a Sweevo-type arcade adventure. Mantronix (July '86) from Probe, a very dull 3D chaseabout rather like Ultimate's recent games, and 2112 AD (March '86), Design Design's early icon driven quest through a computerised future. An interesting and unusual package.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"60","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[{"Name":"Marcus Berkmann","Score":"8","ScoreSuffix":"/10"}],"ScreenshotText":[{"Text":"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"}],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Overall","Score":"8/10","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[{"Header":"Wizard's Lair","Score":"6/10","Text":"Wizard's Lair"},{"Header":"Starstrike II","Score":"9/10","Text":"Starstrike II"},{"Header":"2112 AD","Score":"7/10","Text":"2112 AD"},{"Header":"Mantronix","Score":"5/10","Text":"Mantronix"},{"Header":"Killer Tomatoes","Score":"7/10","Text":"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"}]},{"Issue":{"Name":"Sinclair User Issue 65, Aug 1987","Price":"£1","ReleaseDate":"1987-07-18","Editor":"David Kelly","TotalPages":100,"HasCoverTape":false,"FlannelPanel":"Editor: David Kelly\r\nDeputy Editor: Graham Taylor\r\nStaff Writer: Jim Douglas\r\nStaff Writer: Tamara Howard\r\nArt Editor: Gareth Jones\r\nAdventure Help: Gordo Greatbelly\r\nZapchat: Jon Riglar\r\nHelpline: Andrew Hewson\r\nContributors: Richard Price, Andy Moss, Gary Rook\r\nHardware Correspondent: Rupert Goodwins\r\nAdvertisement Manager: Louise Fanthorpe\r\nDeputy Advertisement Manager: Mike Corr\r\nProduction Assistant: Alison Morton\r\nAdvertisement Secretary: Linda Everest\r\nSubscriptions Manager: Carl Dunne\r\nPublisher: Terry Pratt\r\n\r\nTelephone [redacted]\r\n\r\nSinclair User is published monthly by EMAP Business & Computer Publications\r\n\r\nCover Illustration: Jerry Paris\r\n\r\nTypeset by PRS Ltd, [redacted]\r\nPrinted by Nene River Press, [redacted]\r\nDistributed by EMAP Publications Ltd.\r\n\r\n©Copyright 1986 Sinclair User ISSN No 0262-5458\r\n\r\nABC 84,699 July-Dec 1986"},"MainText":"Label: Beau Jolly\r\nPrice: £6.95\r\nMemory: 48K/128K\r\nJoystick: various\r\nReviewer: Tony Dillon\r\n\r\nNow moving, rather splendidly I thought, to my next film Revenge of the Return of Beau Jolly Compilation Strikes Back, and Rather Disappointing it is Too - that quite remarkable follow up to Rather Disappointing it is 1.\"\r\n\r\nFive Computer Hits is yet another of those seemingly endless Beau Jolly compilations. There are, as the title suggests, five games, but did anyone actually say that they were games that you wanted to play? Wizards Lair is a bad rehash of Atic Atac, 2112AD is far too slow to be enjoyable, Matronix is pointless and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is another run-of-the-mill filmation game. Starstrike II is its only redeeming feature and even that's a little slow.\r\n\r\nMy advice? Try bouncing bricks off your head it's far more fun.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"A sad and frequently dull compilation.
