Knight Lore still remains undisputed leader, but Ocean’s Match Day has climbed rapidly to push Underwurlde off the number 2 slot. Another big climber is Microsphere with their anarchic Skool Daze — up 7 places to this month’s number 4 and pushing Doomdark down one. Airwolf from Elite goes up 12 places, but the biggest climber of all is Technician Ted from Hewson — straight in for the first time at 15. Lower down the chart there are three newcomers, Gift from the Gods — a gift from Ocean, Alien 8 despite moans from many has taken off well, and finally the martial arts of Bug-Byte with Kung Fu.
Figures in parenthesis indicate last month’s position.
Doomdark still rules okay in adventure, and his popularity, amazingly, seems to have awakened The Lords of Midnight which has popped up at number 28. Arcade and graphical adventures hold sway throughout with Tir Na Nog up at number 2, Runes of Zendos, Out of the Shadows and Avalon all doing well. Nice to see oddball adventure Valkyrie 17 from the Ram Jam Corporation climbing again, up 10 places to this month’s 19 slot; and Spiderman, companion to the Hulk (this month’s number 10), arrives from nowhere at 22. But in most respects there is little real change, just a few short shuffles.
