International Karate (Feb '86) is an unoriginal beat-'em-up, but otherwise the standard's consistently high. Lightforce (Dec '86) and Shockway Rider (April '87) were the first releases from Gargoyle offshoot FTL, and each in its own way is a brilliant achievement on the Speccy: Lightforce, a detailed and addictive (though not terribly swift) shooter and Shockway, a multi-speed scroller of urban walkways in a mugger-infested future. ACE (Oct '86) is the fastest (but also the most graphically primitive) of all aerial-zapping simulations, while into The Eagle's Nest (May '87) was one of the best of the Gauntlet variants and certainly the most popular. Finally, there's a game called Batty, which you may well have heard about! All in all, a fine collection.\n\nCOMING SOON...\n\n...two more splendid compilations for the autumn. Activision's got a collection of all those fab Lucasfilm games (Ballblazer, The Eidolon and so on) which should be out in the shops by the time you read this. And Gremlin's Star Games II is out soon, with one or two titles you may have seen elsewhere, like The Eidolon and Ballblazer! (Not to mention Highway Encounter, also available on the Vortex comp.) But we'll keep you posted.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"64","Denied":false,"Award":"Your Sinclair Best Buy","Reviewers":[{"Name":"Marcus Berkmann","Score":"9","ScoreSuffix":"/10"}],"ScreenshotText":[{"Text":"Batty."}],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Overall","Score":"9/10","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[{"Header":"International Karate","Score":"6/10","Text":"International Karate"},{"Header":"Lightforce","Score":"8/10","Text":"Lightforce"},{"Header":"Into The Eagle's Nest","Score":"9/10","Text":"Into the Eagle's Nest"},{"Header":"ACE","Score":"8/10","Text":"ACE"},{"Header":"Shockway Rider","Score":"9/10","Text":"Shockway Rider"},{"Header":"Batty","Score":"9/10","Text":"Batty"}]},{"Issue":{"Name":"Sinclair User Issue 68, Nov 1987","Price":"£1","ReleaseDate":"1987-10-18","Editor":"David Kelly","TotalPages":124,"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, Tony Bridge, Chris Jenkins, Tony Dillon, Gary Rook\r\nHardware Correspondent: Rupert Goodwins\r\nAdvertisement Manager: Mike Corr\r\nSales Executive: Steve Prescott\r\nClassified Sales/Production: Alison Morton\r\nPublisher's Secretary: Debbie Pearson\r\nSubscriptions Manager: Carl Dunne\r\nPublisher: Terry Pratt\r\n\r\nTelephone [redacted]\r\n\r\nSubscription Enquiries [redacted]\r\n\r\nSinclair User is published monthly by EMAP Business & Computer Publications\r\n\r\nCover Illustration: Clive Goodyer\r\n\r\nSinclair User\r\nEMAP Business & Computer Publications\r\n[redacted]\r\n\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: Elite\r\nAuthor: Various\r\nPrice: £9.99\r\nMemory: 48K/128K\r\nJoystick: various\r\nReviewer: Tony Dillon\r\n\r\nNowadays, compilations are getting better and better as more and more recent games are being incorporated. This latest offering from Elite kicks off well. into the Eagles Nest, is a graphically excellent Gauntlet clone. Then there's Lightforce a really neat vertically scrolling shoot-em-up with no colour clash! Then things deteriorate a bit. Aces is a not so good flight simulator over troubled areas.\r\n\r\nInternational Karate has been on other compilations and it's not a brilliant combat game, and Shocking Rider - mugging on express pathways though a neat idea a is a bit odd. Finally, there's Batty. Previously unreleased and arguably the highlight of the tape... Arkanoid, take a step back, it's really good. So three great games, and three maybe OKs. It's a great compilation and one well worth spending your hard earned shreddies on.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"Maintaining the reputation laid down by the first Elites First 6-Pak.
