Computer Programs We Like

	Space Invaders by Enda

An old time classic. Space Invaders is a game which has made it through the obstacles of time to become one of the most well known games. From its humble beginnings to its sorrowful end, Space Invaders will always have a place in the Arcade. A space invader is a game with simple principles. You are an anti-aircraft gun firing at a phalanx of alien ships. You have to destroy all of the aliens before they reach earth. The aliens are able to fire back at you but they rarely hit. If I were to say a suitable age for this game it would be 7-13. But this game is really suitable for all ages. This game deserves an a+.

	God of Thunder by Sarah

I don't know much about the game but I know you have to save the people from someone. You walk around collecting apples and gems. You get a birds-eye view in the game. There are lots of shops, houses and a Mc Donald's. You can walk into houses and talk to people they sometimes give you help and sometimes make you do stuff.

	Cartoon Maker by Laura C

Cartoon maker is a game really for girls because it involves designing a back garden, front garden, restaurant, school or shopping centre and putting accessories in place. You can get cars, garden furniture, etc. I think it is a good game and I would give it 6/10. So thumbs up.

	Frogger by Katie

In Frogger you start with four lives. The idea is to cross the road without getting hit and once you cross the road you jump onto a turtle. Then a log, then a turtle, then a log, then you jump into a hole and when you do this five times you're on the next level. It's a good game but the first level is very easy and the second I could not pass. In the game you may have to move back to avoid dying. You do not need to be good at computers to play Frogger.

	Hugo by Máire

Hugo's horrific adventure was a good game and it took a while to complete. It was a bit puzzling at first to try and work out how to move around in it. You have to type! It involved a bit of detective work to figure out the clues and find the right destinations but other than that there wasn't much skill involved. It was a good game but not a great game. It was good because you got to practise your typing but it was bad because you had to save every few minutes. I would give it at most 6/10. I think it would be more suitable for younger children, maybe 7 to 10 year olds.

	Motorbike by Patrick

Motorbike is the best computer program in the school. This game is mad, it is in the game programs. You can also play 2 player. You don't even have to like motor bikes. You don't need much knowledge to play this game. 10 out 10 is the score I gave this game.

	The Last Knight Of Camelot by Stephanie

The Last Knight Of Camelot is a game where you have to travel to a castle through thirteen levels and the trools have to try and stop you. You have to jump a lot of times to get jewels on the rooftops. At the end of the thirteenth level you reach the castle. At the end of each level it tells you your percentage score and how many jewels you have got out of a hundred.

	Solitare by Susan

The computer program I picked is Solitare. Solitare is a one player card game. The object of the game is to use all of the cards in the deck to build a suite from ace to king but it can't be the same colour on top of each other. So it has to be red then black or the other way around. It's a good game you can play when there is no one to play cards with. It's kinda hard but when the deck gives good cards you could win the game. I would recommend the game from ages 10 and up.

	Fleet Street Phantom by Sinéad M

Fleet Street Phantom is a computer game set in a newspaper office. Strange things are happening. Someone is printing mistakes in the newspapers. It's nicknamed the 'Phantom', The idea of the game is to find the phantom and to correct the mistakes in the papers. A person in the newspaper office has gone missing and if you can find him he'll help you to solve the clues. There are 3 levels, each longer and harder than each other. It's a solving game and would be suitable for 9-12 years old.

	Wolf 3D by Paul

Wolf 3D is all about having nerve and patience. You start in a big room and go around shooting the Nazi guards. You can collect treasures and sub machine guns. You have to try and find a key to get on to the next level. Sometimes guard dogs attack you. It is a very good game.

	Pool by Leon

I think pool for the pc is very good. It shows you how to play, it explains the rules and it shows many trick shots and it is great fun. It is very easy to cheat on the game - you can put the balls right beside the pockets and you can move the Q ball wherever you want.

	Crop Crusader by Leona

Crop Crusader is a computer game about a farmer called Henry. Guide Henry through the gardens collecting the fruits and vegetables and money. Be careful of the animals trying to get a piece of Henry's food and even a piece of him too. There are sixteen levels in the game. You can kill the animals by spraying the bug spray at them. There are about eleven cans of bug spray in the game. You don't need skill just memory in this game. I think this game would be good for eight to eleven year olds.

	Dr Lunatic by Laura O

The game Dr Lunatic is about a man trying to beat Dr Cyclone and he has to beat little people to get keys. Every once in a while he'll touch off a rock and millions of skeletons come out and attack you. There is 20 levels! The first level is a Spooky Forest and all you have to do is get a key so it's pretty easy. The second level is a pygmy village where if you don't press the right key twice they will roast you over their fire. The third level is the creepy cave in which you have baboons attacking you. The fourth level is all space creatures trying to capture you and take you to the rings of Saturn and you have to click the spacebar button and the enter key at the same time. So far I'm only on the fourth level and can't get past it. Dr Cyclone is a pig and I don't mean he acts like one, he really is one. Well, I'm off to try again, so wish me luck.

	Comic Soccer by Aaron & Vincent

Comic soccer is a fantastic, easy and funny game. If you pick Denmark you will get Viking hats. If you pick Italy you have long hair and a moustache. If you pick France you will get a France cap. There are no tricks or cheats. Aaron I think football on the PC is really good and easy. It's good for people who want to learn about football. It is easy to score goals. 15-0. There are deadly teams and the game is very fast /passing/kicking etc. Vincent

	Piranha Panic by Karl

Piranha Panic is about a piranha who has to eat fish. You have to collect little piranhas. At the end of each level there is a big boss. There are no skills for this game. The only buttons you use are spacebar and directional keys. The fourth level is very hard. I wouldn't play this game for too long because it is not really great. The graphics are pretty normal. I'd rate this game 5.

	Andor by Sinéad B

Andor has eight levels, like any other game the higher you get the harder it gets. Right, you have a little man and he goes into a maze. The thing is to get the key and open the door. You really need to sit there and think or else. You don't die but you don't get to the next level. Two dangers are: lasers and getting caved in. IT'S A BRILLIANT GAME!

	Ski by Sophie

Ski is cool because you have to do it very fast and there are lots ofbushes. You have to be very fast at pressing the buttons. My highest score is 1090.

	Go-kart by Nicola

Go-kart is easy, all you have to do is be able to control the car. You can choose three levels and laps from 5, 10 or 20 laps. I would rate this for 5 years and up. If you crash into the tyres you will not die.

	Tweety and Sylvester by Tracey

This computer programe is about a bird and a cat. You are the cat Sylvester and you are chasing the bird Tweety. You get 8 lives. There are objects trying to stop you from catching the bird. And the more cat food you get the closer you get to the bird. I would give this game a 8/10.

	Granny's Garden by Hannah

		I like Granny's Garden because in the game you have to find six children and their parents, the King and Queen, who have been captured by the wicked witch. There are many difficult tasks, but I came close to completing the game, but then a dragon killed me.
