Still managing to fly below the radar of a surprising number of gamers, Mastertronic's policy of reissuing quality titles at attractive prices continues here, with three more games at fresh £9.99 price points.

Brian Lara 2007 is, as you can probably twig, a cricket game, and perhaps the weakest of the three games we're looking at here. That said, it's still quite a good sports game that will easily reward the ten quid investment price.

In its favour, it's the best balance of batting and bowling that we've seen in a cricket game to date. Usually one side tends to be far more enjoyable than the other, but here they're both good fun and won't disappoint. Bizarrely, though, it's the fielding that lets the side down.

Fielding isn't something that many cricket games put into the hands of players, and with good reason on this evidence. Making a catch, or retrieving the ball to try to get it back to the stumps, takes some effort and really doesn't work well at all. A pity. If you can overlook this, there's still a tenner's worth of entertainment in Lara, but here's hoping the next version fixes the near-fatal flaw at the heart of this one.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, meanwhile, is another established game that knows what it needs to do and gets about doing it. By the time we got to this third iteration of the game, there weren't many new tricks to throw into the proverbial pot, and so the new features tend to be more cosmetic.

Certainly the move to full 3D is a jump, albeit one that doesn't particularly affect the way the game plays, as the trick is still to put together a great theme park with appealing attractions. It's good fun to play and goes about its business with plenty of welcome humour.

Were we to pick from the three on offer here, though, it'd be Chris Sawyer's Locomotion that gets the nod. There's a tinge of nostalgia about our decision, granted, as Sawyer previously wrote the brilliant Transport Tycoon. In many ways this game harks back to it, as the idea is to build up a transport infrastructure using a variety of fairly easy-to-use tools.

The game soon becomes more tricky, though, not least when your competition move in, and the scenarios you're placed in get more complex. It doesn't help that it can be a bit fiddly at times, and it won't appeal to those raised on more modern simulations of this ilk, but for ten quid, Locomotion is a deliciously old-style strategy game and well worth discovering.

As usual there's a smattering of interesting games here, with the underappreciated Locomotion just earning the nod ahead of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 for us.
