Blast It is a game of strategy for one player. With the aid of a remote controlled robot, you have to disarm bombs. You have to plan a route to enable the robot to link all the bombs in numerical sequence.

The robot cannot cross the laid down wire and it must not stay stationary for very long. Depending on the skill level, a number of bombs are randomly plotted and a time limit is set.

Bombs detonate if you exceed the time or try to disarm a bomb out of sequence. Be careful not to trap the robot inside a bomb or within the wire.

Each game is different and with five skill levels, there is plenty of scope for player improvement. If your score is high enough you qualify for the Blast It Hall of Fame.

The instructions, which also detail the scoring system are included in the program. These are very clear. The tape loads easily and the program runs smoothly but there is some delay in plotting bombs in the higher levels. The display is well thought out and the use of colour is good.

I enjoyed playing this game, which is good value for any TI user's money.
