Some interesting comments from the reviewers there re: their thoughts on the Amiga version of Humans and how one of them saw Dino Olympics as being little more than a stopgap until Lemmings arrived on the Lynx.

Don't think i've mentioned these from Atari Ent.Magazine:

soko Mania

Graphics 30%, sound 40%, Gameplay 505 Overall 50% 'areal turkey, don't touch it with a ten inch pole' (should'nt that be 10 foot? lol)

Lynx Othello Graphics 80%, Sound 80%, Gameplay 90%, Overall 80% 'Great game with a good strategy twist'


Championship Rally Graphics 70%, Sound 90%, Gameplay 80%, Overall 80% 'A valiant effort to produce a game for a machine that has very little other support'

Remnant Graphics 80%, Sound 70%, Gameplay 70%, Overall 75% 'could of been a great game...'

S-I-M-I-S Graphics 70%, Sound 70%, Gameplay 90% Overall 90% 'well worth the money for once, buy it'

Bubble Trouble Graphics 80% Sound 85% Gameplay 85% Overall 80% 'Give Bubble Trouble a try'.


Never played any of above myself, so no idea how fair scores are.

Lexis (right spelling ;)) is nothing like Tetris except for the fact it's a puzzle game.

I have reviewed nearly all of them on here with fairly similar scores.

I thought it was my spelling which was wrong (well 99% chance it was gonna be that) but no, throughout review they spell it with a U even though they print the box art which has it spelt with an I...

Both reviews are pretty good.  Good score for Lemmings.

Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Nice reviews.  I'll need to look for that Gates of Zendacon.  It must be some unreleased sequel to Gates of Zendocon.   :21:
