The Hammer Of Grimmold; Mutant; Matchmaker

The first disk compilation in the River C64 series of adventures is probably the weakest of the bunch so I will not go into too much detail over each title.

The first River title, Hammer Of Grimmold, asks you to retrieve the dwarven hammer from the evil magician. Mutant pits you, The Exterminator, after a beast wreaking havoc in one of the Atom Bomb test site islands, and finally, in Matchmaker, you are a trainee matchmaker who must get the Prince and Princess to the church, suitably attired, on time.

Again, all three hold the River hallmarks of a decent adventure - none of them are classed as 'poor' by any means. However, in comparison with the other titles they lack depth and quality.
