Game Covers - Jack the Nipper II (Commodore 64)

The country has had enough. It can take no more of the devilish pranks and obnoxious behaviour of darling little Jack! Banished to Australia, our favourite little horror jumps plane (well what do you expect?) to land in deepest darkest Jungleland. What havoc he goes on to create is limited only by your imagination. Maybe there's something there that fancies being mugged... bitten... spat at or pinched. As ever poor man and dad dutifully follow their nauseating little offspring.

Game Covers - Monty on the Run (Commodore 16 and Plus 4)

Super fit and desperate for freedom, Monty makes his daring escape from Scudmore Prison. Hounded by the bastions of law and order, our frightened hero finds refuge with the criminal underworld who offer him his chance to breath fresh air and bask in the sunlight once again. Moving from safe house to hideout to underground lair, Monty must not miss out on the hidden gold coins that will make him a mole of leisure.

At last he's free but can he make the cross-channel ferry on time?

Game Covers - Rescue from Zylon (Commodore 16 and Plus 4)

An underground maze of caverns. A subterranean river flooding its banks. A team of the world's most brilliant geologists doomed to a watery grave. All that is available is your airship. Dare you take this unusual craft into unknown territories or do you chicken out and stick to joyriding in open spaces? Surely there can be no doubt?

Game Covers - C16's Classics (Commodore Plus 4)

Dork's Dilemma

Plasma rocket failure. A space shattering collision with a planetoid form not known to any civilized solar system and a dazed, confused Dork awakens to find his disabled spaceship stripped and hidden through the underworld kingdom of the evil little Zomwats

Zobwats? Zobwats! Dark little creatures living in an underground maze.

And they told Dork spacetravel was supposed to be fun.

Tycoon Tex

Tycoon Tex is a 'rootin', 'tootin' oil tycoon in the true wild west tradition. Guns blazing, eyes gazing, the faster he can make his pipeline patrol the quicker he can add to his bank balance.

Sand, ice or snow can't halt Tex's speedy draw as he fights off the dangers of falling bombs, arrows, surface missiles and crash explosives. And if he's a second too slow - **!!?? BOOM - one more leak, one barrel less to add to his sticky hoard.

Look out JR you ain't seen nothing yet!

Xargon Wars

A battle spectacular in the classic mould - defend your mother planet from the alien hordes. Put to test your skills as gunnery commander as the space invaders launch wave after wave of laser bombs. Will your nerve last out and reflexes quicken as each success you attain is met by an even faster attack the following level.

Petals of Doom

Trapped within an eerie space cavern, the only way home is to help the flower plantation reach full growth. Only then will energy curtains blocking your way finally disappear. But, true to all classic space shoot-outs, the plan-hating bugs are out to stamp your flowers to the ground. See the free world again - only if your trigger finger can match the challenge.
