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.

Dan danna. Dooo doo (Drum roll.) Yes, it's compilation time again and here's your host, Beau Jolly. What a wonderful night we could have if the price is right. One lucky winner could walk away with Alien Highway if they can get the catchphrase, which is of course more of the same with the roving salt cellars. Or, if you can score 101 or more with 6 darts Dandy is yours, yet another Gauntlet variant. Remember, when Bob says Sincerity Sucks, Cauldron II will belong to you, starmaker, and bouncing pumpkins could well provide hours of fun. There's a good chance though that you'll like Quazatron, a mix of Paradroid and Marble Madness, so press your buttons and gamble away. And Strike Force Cobra is a game you'll like if you play your cards right (and also if you like kicking doors, like wot I do!!)\r\n\r\nIf you have none of the games, this is an essential purchase. If you have some it's good value and if you have all of them why are you reading this!!?!","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"Good compilation.
