So someone was short of a real theme; with a name like Battle Of The Toothpaste Tubes, who can take it seriously? Fortunately the title oes not do credit to the game itself. It has been imaginatively conceived with the use of fast-moving high resolution graphics as well as entertaining sound effects.

You must fire the toothpaste onto the heads of the toothbrushes. If you miss and hit the handles it will rebound and hit you. Mini tubes fire at you, you can protect yourself with a flouride shield or simply by firing at them. Lastly, beware the chattering teeth, they can penetrate shields - one bite is lethal.

Being given a healthy number of lives to begin with produces a sense of security, to stay alive is not easy you must be constantly alert and on your toes.

Battle Of The Toothpaste Tubes is a good game, though the scenario is corny to say the least. But above all it is fun to play.

Castle Colditz is an adventure game in which you are being held prisoner in, of course, the Castle Colditz. Surprise, surprise, your task is to escape! To this end, you must make your way from the prisoners' room, through a complexed arrangement of tunnels and passages to the Front Gate and freedom.

Sadly, this game is without graphics, which is rather annoying and poor for an adventure game of today. There may well be too many tunnels and passages for you to remember hence necessitating the drawing of a map. As you wander you may collect various object which are scattered around. There seems to be rather an abundance of treasure here.

Castle Colditz on its own is far from inspiring, and certainly not a program to be bought on its own, but sold with BTT it makes much better sense. Overall, this cassette is good, but far from mindblowing, especially as the product of such a well established company as K-Tel.
