The later of the two Spectrum squash games of note. This is a 128k only release from 1991, and is suitably well presented.
It is infuriatingly difficult to start with, until you get a feel for the timing, then it becomes quite playable. Playing against the computer is good, but two player is better.
Overall, this is challenging fun, a high quality game, but a bit simple.

I thought Jonah Barrington's Squash was a hard game, but after a quick inspection on JKWCS, I redefined my notion of difficulty straight way. Of course it takes practice to get the hang of it, which I have none at the present moment. And if I not mistaken it's easier than what initially looks and than JB's Squash.
The court angle doesn't help much, despite looking better, it's not the best for this type of game.
But overall, this is a pretty good squash game.

This squash simulator is remarkable for several reasons ... but the key-system spoils part of the fun since it is almost impossible to hit two consecutive balls !!!

I wasn't expecting this to be as good as Jonah Barrington Squash, but it might have just pipped it in fact. I unsurprisingly struggled at first but I soon got used to the controls and was doing much better, I actually had a 6-2 lead in my second game before I blew it and lost. It's much more advanced than Jonah Barrington which you'd expect from a 128K game released six years after and is an accurate squash simulator in my eyes. Both this and Jonah Barrington are very good representations of Squash, but which is the better game? It is hard to tell but I will give this the slight edge.
