The follow-up to Beau Jolly's wildly successful first compilation of ten games, '''10 Computer Hits 2''' returned to the same formula by mixing great games (''[[3D Starstrike]]'') with less stellar games (''[[Moon Buggy]]'') and throwing in the odd iconic platformer (''[[Technician Ted]]'') for good measure.
 
At the time of release all of the games (with the lone exception of [[Android 2]]) were well over a year old and while some had matured gracefully, others were already looking long in the tooth.

== Reaction '''Ratings''' ==
As with the first in the series, ''10 Computer Hits 2 '' benefited from being one of the first compilations on the market for the CPC, had the same collection of games been released a few months later, chances are that it would've been given a rougher ride. As it was, however, '''10 Computer Hits 2 ''' was well received by the only magazine to review it - ''[[Amstrad Action]]''.
They felt that "they may be old but look at that price! Besides, who cares what age the games are when you've got the likes of ''[[Gauntlet (Micropower)|Gauntlet]]'' and ''[[Android 2]]''? If half the games are worth [[Mastertronic ]] prices - and they are - then the odd duff one doesn't matter anyway. Go for it!"
