Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (Gremlin, 1990) Get ready to compete in the Lotus Challenge with fifteen other competitors as you attempt to score points in various tracks in every corner of the world. There are three difficulty levels with seven, ten and fifteen tracks in each respectively, and each has their own characteristics. You'll need to be really good to win races, although it's possible to win the championship without winning any races! On some tracks, you might need to pit for fuel as well. In short, this is the best racing game on the CPC. The graphics may not be stunning, but the scrolling is really fast and you really feel like you're doing 140mph. The music and sound effects are good as well. More information on TACGR 10

The Lurking Horror (Infocom, 1987) You've come to the computer centre at GUE Tech and are in the terminal room, with only a hacker for company, trying to get your essay finished for tomorrow morning. There's a huge blizzard outside and you're stuck here for the night, but something much more sinister is afoot... This was one of the last of Infocom's text adventures to be released on the CPC, and I reckon it's their best one. The text descriptions really create a tense and frightening atmosphere as you skulk around the corridors of GUE Tech, and the characters that you will meet are rather scary as well, such as the ghoulish caretaker and the professor of alchemy. This isn't just my favourite Infocom game; it's one of my favourite text adventures of them all. More information on TACGR 10
