1984: Are The Top COMPUTER GAMES Good? | Saturday Superstore | Retro Gaming | BBC Archive

A brand new Top Ten chart has been compiled by the National Opinion Poll, documenting the best-selling home computer video games in the UK for the first time ever. Sarah Greene is joined by some young games experts - Dominic, Duncan and Cassie - to help her undertake a “Special Superstore Software Check-Out.“ Which of the computer games in the so-called Top Ten do they think is the best? The three top-selling titles; Manic Miner, Atic Atac and Ant Attack are put through their paces, along with new release, Bear Bovver. Games will be reviewed on the same format - the Sinclair Spectrum - and points will be allocated for graphics, playability and value for money. Incidentally, the complete inaugural UK Video Game Top Ten is as follows: 1: Manic Miner (Commodore 64) 2: Atic Atac (Spectrum) 3: Ant Attack (Spectrum) 4. Hunchback (Spectrum) 5: Fighter Pilot (Spectrum) 6: Manic Miner (Spectrum) 7: The Hobbit (Spectrum) 8: Pole Position (Atari) 9: Mr Wimpy (Spectrum) 10: Revenge of the Mutant Camels (Commodore 64) This clip is from Saturday Superstore, originally broadcast 3 March, 1984.
