Producer: Artic. 16K £4.95 A good copy and a classic version with nine levels of play, hi-score, personalised scoring, one or two players games. Features swooping Galaxians and hi-res explosions. Joystick: Kempston. Machine code. Very good value for money.

Memory Required: 16K RRP: £4.95 A much better Galaxian copy with the aliens using the original formations ie leader swoops down flanked by two generals making him harder to hit. Again, no fuel, no mothership. This was much more challenging than Mikrogen's version, especially on level 6, and is obviously better value at a pound less. One or two players and the game is Kempston compatible. CHRIS PASSEY This is much better all round, bigger and better looking aliens, and explosions in hi-res graphics. It's also got far more playing speeds - nine in all. LLOYD MANGRAM
