Amstrad Action Adventure Column Index

Reviews | Clues | Just for Laughs

This is a complete index of every review, clue and 'just for laughs' that has featured in Amstrad Action's adventure column from the first issue until issue 112. During its lifetime, there were three columnists - The Pilgrim (issues 1 to 49), The Balrog (issues 50 to 93), and The Examiner (issues 95 to 112).

Similar indices have appeared in Amstrad Action before; there is a reviews index in issue 41, clues indices in issues 57, 74, 86 and 87, and a complete index from issues 1 to 93 in issue 93. However, the index that you are looking at now is a more complete and comprehensive work than any of the indices published in Amstrad Action.

This index was compiled by Nicholas Campbell 2002-2003.

Reviews

The reviews index lists each game and the software house or author who released it. The price given in the magazine is also shown; C refers to the cassette version, and D refers to the disc version. 'PD' means that the game was available from public domain (PD) libraries, and each PD library could charge different amounts for the same game. The issue of Amstrad Action which the review appeared in is shown along with the page number(s), to allow you to locate the review easily if you own a copy of that issue.

The Pilgrim and The Balrog both rated games using four types of score - atmosphere (listed under Atmos. in the table), interaction (Inter.), challenge (Chall.), and an overall score. However, nearly all of the games listed as PD were not rated at all, and the words 'no score' are shown in the 'Overall' column. The Examiner's column only gave games an overall mark, and did not give marks for atmosphere, interaction and challenge.
