Chartwatch

LAST MONTH we bemoaned the absence of Frank Bruno's Boxing from the charts. Now it's gone straight to number one with a bullet, while Rocco's on a downward spiral and Alligata's abysmal Knockout is out for the count.

Other new entries include Mirrorsoft's excellent Dynamite Dan, the classic Frankie, Vortex's Highway Encounter and Level 9's Red Moon. Pole Position, Dam Busters, Nick Faldo's' Open, Nonterraqueous, BMX Racers and Monopoly are also new to the hit list.

Some lunatics out there are still buying Mastertronic's Action Biker, and Daley Thompson's Decathlon, over a year old, continues to sell well.

There's still no sign of the Fourth Protocol, and Melbourne's Way of the Exploding Fist has yet to make the same devastating impact that it had on the Commodore charts.
