I always enjoy reading old reviews and there will be a load from CGW coming up on here, thanks to an archive of scans I found the other day. This one is a review of Ultima 2 from March/April 1983. It’s far more in-depth than the Ultima I review yesterday and the game gets a good reception.

I’ve also included an advert for Ultima 2 from the same issue + an advert for Marauder (another SierraVenture game). I’ve included Marauder for curiosity value as it has basically the same spaceman as the Ultima 2 box with the colours changed. This is also the case with the actual game box as shown on Mobygames

Wing Commander Review – PC Plus

This is a review of Wing Commander from the February 1991 PC Plus. This is another review I remember from the time and another game I’d love to have been able to play back then, but I was still stuck in the dark ages still on a CGA only PC. The screenshot was what sold it for me, but I’d swear the real game doesn’t look quite as good as that.
