Microsoft did wrong at least it look

out most of the irritating bugs.

TR SKETCH

Australian software needs to smarten

up its image. Alastair Scott draws his

conclusions on a program which is a

failure and would shame a Spectrum.

The very best reviews of beezer games.

• Populous solves ommipotence problems.

• Prospector is out of the )(ordinary.

• Afterburner takes to the skies.

• Hostages doesn't hang around.

• Cosmic Pirate plunders an Excellent 92%.

• Captain Fizz gives the Blasterons what's coming to them.

• Zany Golf proves greens are good for you as the top game.

• Denaris breathes new life into the shoot'em up.

• The desolation of Prison gets depressing.

• Chase proves some software is too expensive even at E10.

• All this, and more, starting on Page 68.
