10 Computer Hits 2

== Overview ==
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 ==
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 '' 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!"

== Trivia ==
*Like the first in the series, ''10 Computer Hits 2 '' was supported by a television campaign in the UK, a unique move that set the title apart and doubtless helped to shift a number of extra units.
*Beau Jolly also released the title on the Spectrum but with a different line-up substituting ''[[Moon Buggy]]'', ''[[Gauntlet(Micropower)]]'', ''[[World Cup Football]] '' & ''[[Fantasia Diamond]] '' with ''[[Wizard's Lair]]'', ''[[The Covenant]]'', ''[[On the Run]] '' & ''Snooker''
