Title: Gribbly's Day Out (£26)
Links: None
Supplier: Coin-Age
Players: 1
Type: Platform
Needs: OS 2: Yes   OS 3: ?   RPC: No   SA: No


Title: Ground Hog *** (£12)
Highly original game where you must lay down multiple paths across time that don't crash into each other. Interesting but soon becomes very annoying to play due to the time limit and need to move precisely and have an amazing memory! Very simple graphics
Links: None
Supplier:
4th Dimension
Players: 1
Type: Puzzle
Needs: OS 2: No   OS 3: Yes   RPC: Yes   SA: Yes


Title: Guile *** (£30)
Cross between Zarch and Elite, that was far too fiddly and difficult to control! A nice idea and quite well presented. Heavily promoted, but failed to sell I suspect.
Links: None
Supplier: Dream
Players: 1
Type: Zarch (aka Virus)
Needs: OS 2: Yes   OS 3: Yes   RPC: Yes   SA: Yes


Title: Hamsters ****
Great fun. Squelch all the poor little animals to death. Makes your eyes go funny after a bit, however! Sadly only available as part of a four-game compilation, Aries.
Links: None
Supplier:
Eclipse
Players: 1
Type: Platform

Title: Haunted House *** (£26)
Runs in the desktop. Similar to The WIMP Game. Latest version works correctly on StrongARM
Links: None
Supplier:
4th Dimension
Players: 1
Type: Adventure - point'n'click
Needs: 2MB   OS 2: ?   OS 3: Yes   RPC: Yes   SA: Yes, but lots of mess when dragging objects


Title: Heimdall ***
Whether or not you like this action-based RPG depends on your taste in RPGs. A strange mouse-based combat system makes this game completely reliant on you having a fully functioning mouse (although it probably won't be by the time you finish with this game), and the game implementation - particularly of the object selection screen during exploration - is very bad at times, handicapping the game so much that it becomes immensely tedious to play. Sound is poor, too, with annoyingly loud footsteps everywhere you go. Some nice graphics, however.

Type: Arcade adventure
Needs: 2MB   OS 2: ?   OS 3: Yes   RPC: Yes   SA: No


Title: Here With the Clues **
Strange game where you are given a set of documents and clues and need to solve a mystery. Once you've played it once there isn't much to make you come back to it. More of a curiosity, really.
Links: None
Supplier: Unknown
Players: 1
Type: Puzzle/adventure
Needs: OS 2: Yes   OS 3: ?   RPC: ?   SA: ?


Title: Heretic and Hexen ***** (£32.50)
Two run-and-shoot fantasy games for the price of one! Not bad value for money, and both are pretty fun games
