Woolworths UK Top 30 Software Chart July 1987
Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2013 9:06 pm
Just noticed this while flicking through an old copy of C&VG from 1987, so thought I'd put it up here.
Totally dominated by the C64 and Spectrum. The Amstrad only gets a look in at position 21.
Position - Title - Software House - Machine Type
1 - Last Ninja System 3 C64
2 - Barbarian Palace Spectrum
3 - Enduro Racer Activision Spectrum
4 - 6 Pack Elite Spectrum
5 - Wonderboy Activision Spectrum
6 - 6 Pack Elite C64
7 - Barbarian Palace C64
8 - Enduro Racer Activision C64
9 - Army Moves Ocean Spectrum
10 - World Games U.S. Gold Spectrum
11 - Metrocross U.S. Gold Spectrum
12 - Saboteur 2 Durrell Spectrum
13 - Wonderboy Activision C64
14 - Mag Max Ocean Spectrum
15 - F15 Strike Eagle Microprose Spectrum
16 - Metrocross U.S. Gold C64
17 - Gauntlet U.S. Gold Spectrum
18 - Leaderboard U.S. Gold Spectrum
19 - Big 4 Durrell C64
20 - Auf Wiedersehen Monty Gremlin Spectrum
21 - Enduro Racer Activision Amstrad
22 - Sentinal Firebird Spectrum
23 - Konami Cion Op Imagine Spectrum
24 - Auf Wiedersehen Monty Gremlin C64
25 - Quartet Activision C64
26 - Konami's Coin Op's Imagine C64
27 - Paperboy Elite Spectrum
28 - Shadows of Mordor Melbourne House Spectrum
29 - 6 Pack Elite Amstrad
30 - Shadows of Mordor Melbourne House C64
The Utopian World before those pesky consoles and 16 bits came on the scene.
Actually there's an ad for the NES in the same issue and mention of the Master System being distributed by Mastertronic, but in Ireland anyway and assume it was similar in the UK? those two didn't make much of an impact.
