Had a piece submitted for Pixel Addict Magazine about Rex, a Speccy game I have never played. He also mentioned this enchanced version which I decided to try out.
Using keys to play this is taking some practice as not used keyboard controls for ages!

GamesMaster mag from 30 years ago. A very strong issue for great games with several hitting 93% plus but highest was
MICRO MACHINES 2- 97%
and the lowest
WAY OF THE WARRIOR-43%
I had also forgotten all about those free gifts with Sugar Puffs!
