First the good news: the tape con-tains II games. Now the bad news: all the games are written in Basic. I consider these games to be poor quality, graphically limited and uninspired. Most of them use a flicker-ing animation technique. I'm sure a company with Attic's expertise and reputation could have produced better. Writing them in machine code, for instance, would make 100 per cent improvement.

The games arc: Slot Machine, Art, Slalom. Catch Me If You Can, Space Pirate, Space-fire I, Spacefire 2, Car Crash, Man-eating Budgies, Maze and The Wall. Some of the ideas are good and would have produced interesting games if written differently.

The tape loaded first time and the instructions supplied are clearly written. Children aged between six and 10 may enjoy these for five minutes or so, but anyone else would be better advised to use their money to buy a book or magazine of 1K programs and type them in. There would be more fun and satis-faction and the game is likely to be just as good as any on this cassette.

If I had to choose I would say that Maze and The Wall were the best. They were nearly interesting.
