BOGIE'S PICK
Top Ten Software produce games for the five leading home computers. I have
picked out some of the best for you here.
SAS Operation Thunderflash: Terrorist Guerillas have taken over a London
embassy, taking five hostages. You are the leader of a crack SAS squad and must
enter the 50 rooms and recover the hostages alive. Superb 3D graphics in this
one. ZX Spectrum.
TALLADEGA: Richard Petty is king of the NASCAR super stocks, you must beat him
to win the Talladega, America's greatest car race. Speed of reactions are
required from both driver and his pit crew. I love driving fast so this is a
Bogie's pick all the way. Commodore 64 and Atari.
SPACE RELIEF: This is a dream of a shoot 'em up, especially for a kid like me
who grew up before NASA, defeat the Tessican federation whilst marvelling at
the base relief graphics, if you have time. Commodore 64.
GRID IRON: American Football is my game, and judging by the sales of this it's
your game too! This is Top Ten's bestselling program, you are coach of the year
to the best football team in the USA. Great strategy, great game. Spectrum,
Amstrad, CBM 64 and BBC/Electron.
ALICE IN VIDEOLAND: You are Alice in her magic journey through videoland. A
magical experience this one. Commodore 64.
XEN: Great shoot 'em up with chunky sprites. A winner. Spectrum.
HELIDROP: An ideal game for the younger player, guide the helicopter through
enemy lines to deliver supplies to your chaps. Commodore 64.
THE VIKINGS: This one is great. You are a Viking and must rescue your Queen
from the Brits, battle hand to hand and collect weapons, arcade action and
strategy. Commodore 64.
AXE: Based upon the classic science fiction book, this is a large adventure
game with graphics and a great challenge. Spectrum.
I also thoroughly recommend the following titles from Top Ten Warehouse
(BBC/ELK), Frantic Freddie (64), Werewolf Simulator (Spec, Amstrad and 64), BMX
Hyper Biker (64), Orc Attack (64 & Spectrum). So get moving you guys 'cos Top
Ten are the tops.

Life was never peaceful in the big city, but nothing had prepared you for the
events to come. You, Tommy Astle, had seen all the facets of life in your job
as news hound on the local rag, or so you thought. That night changed your
opinions on a great many things. The deaths had occurred in strange
circumstances and there had been talk of the supernatural. At first, you would
have none of it but, as the investigation unfolded the truth began to dawn. A
truth more terrible than you could guess. The woman had spoken of a creature
from the realms of myth and superstition, the Loogaroo. Could it exist? Hack
newswriter Tommy Astle was sure it could!
Werewolf Simulator is an adventure game with Graphics, written by Charles A
Sharp of the Dreaming Djinn, look out for his other adventures to be released
through Top Ten. "Druids Moon", "Key to Paradox" and "A.R.E.N.A." and the Xmas
adventure "Jolly Poppa Down".
