| Your Sinclair reviewed the ZX Spectrum version in January 1988 (Hewson, £7.95) and gave it 9 out of 10 and its Megagame stamp. The reviewer, signed Rick, called it John Phillips's follow-up to Impossaball, his earlier Hewson game, and faulted only the lack of color and the climbing back after a fall. | p. 103 (image 103), review headingp. 103 (image 103), YS Clapometerp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), YS Clapometer | Magazine |
| Your Sinclair's review of the ZX Spectrum version describes the game: as Pogo, the player has to destroy eight towers that have risen from the sea by climbing each one along spiral steps around its outside, through doors to other parts of the tower, while the tower turns in 3D. He has three lives, a timer counts down from 500, and every 5,000 points earn an extra life. | p. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), reviewp. 103 (image 103), review | Magazine |
| David Powell, new to Your Sinclair's Screen Shots, reviewed the Spectrum Rygar (US Gold, £8.99) in January 1988 and gave it 8. David Powell found all 27 levels of the arcade game there, with bonus points at the end of each for the creatures killed and for the time left on a 99-second clock, and noted that, unlike the arcade game, Rygar stops moving when he fires; pushing the joystick forwards swings the weapon in a half-circle. The review found the graphics weaker in this version but the scrolling smooth: "Differences aside, this is a great game." | p. 95, Screen Shots, Rygarp. 95, Screen Shots, Rygarp. 95, Screen Shots, Rygarp. 95, Screen Shots, Rygarp. 95, Screen Shots, Rygarp. 95, Screen Shots, Rygarp. 95, Screen Shots, Rygar, YS Clapometerp. 51, contributors | Magazine |
