That's what I've come up with. There were other titles which I've decided to exclude, four them being the '...Is Fun' series (French/German/Italian/Spanish) which is educational software and isn't really quite a game as such. Turf-Form is also off this list because it's a prediction utility for those who bet on horse races.

Much of CDS's early stuff is arcade knock-offs. Pretty amazed they were still around in the late 80s to bring out a Sporting Triangles game.

Have I got it right/wrong? Let me know with your comments and we'll commence the week-long poll this time next week.

For me, the only game from the lot that's worth is Pool. Very good.

I've always had a soft spot for Winged Warlords.

Gobble A Ghost wasn't a bad little pacman game, pretty nippy as i recall.

I used to enjoy playing Steve Davis Snooker, despite it being completely impossible to actually pot anything.

CDS Pool was my favourite out of that lineup.
