(Spec, C64 and Ams; £9.99cs. BBC version to follow)

Unsurprisingly from the home of the Budget Burger, all the titles on the Mastertronic compilation are ex-budget games themselves, more of the £2.99 class than £1.99 as I recall. The games on the C64 version are Pipeline II, Agent X II, Rapid Fire, Cage Match, Street Beat (previously called Ghetto Blaster or something, wasn't it?) and Destructo. Most of these games come from the pre-ACE days that time forgot, all that is except Agent X II, which in Issue 4 rated a 616. On the Spectrum and Amstrad it's Agent X II, Destructo, Zub, Rasterscan, Curse Of Sherwood, and 180. A bit of a ho hum selection really, and apart from the impressive and amazingly programmed Zub, a couple of quid too expensive.
