1986 Illusion Software (UK)
by Barry Jones

This is the third game in the to C5 series by Barry Jones. Its basically the same as the first game but with a different level structure.
You play 5 stages, starting in England, passing the Channel Tunnel to France, then Spain and then right into an arena where a bull fight awaits you.
The difference between this and C5 Clive lies in the plot which is a bit more exciting and playable, specially after level 1, but still there is nothing new under the sun here, and if you didnt like the first game you wont like this one too.

A bit more varied than its predecessor and with a funny title ... Clive in Exile is quite playable and got the same main quality as the C5 : the enveloping ambientation that makes you want to advance further and further .

This game made me seen new horizons never seen before on my Speccy , for that I am grateful .

With its fascinating 1984's budget release look, trite petulant sound effects, debatable gameplay and playability and oh so slow game over sequence, Clive In Exile will conquer you! Miss it at your own risk of safety and relief! Successful just as the C5 you drive through the game.
1,25/5

The sequel to "C5 Clive", and basically just a new set of simialar quality levels for the original game, with a slightly different theme.
Same crappiness, same redeeming features. So, in keeping with the authors tactics, here is a cut and paste job from my review of that:
Drive Sir Clive, in his C5, across a series of flip screens, avoiding and jumping (?!) various static and moving obstacles.
Sprites are flickery, gameplay is primitive and graphics are simple. Somehow though, it manages to hang together as a game and keeps reeling you in for another go. It has a bit of humour and character too, but not quite enough to make up for the general crappiness.
There were certainly worse £1.99 budget games out there.
