Cassette 50

This is one of those amazing tapes which offer you 50 games on one cassette, all are written in Basic. They're fairly short and simple. A wide variety of subjects are included to suit all tastes.

The quality isn't very good. I found the games slow and boring and not very user-friendly. On one program the instructions gave me the wrong keys to use and I had to list the program to find out what to press. Another game was unplayable on a black and white TV because the colours used were very similar shades of grey. The full list of faults is too long to mention here. Joysticks aren't utilized very often; the keyboard is used most of the time.

Brief instructions are supplied with the cassette. All directions are given on a menu screen with each game.

Graphics and sounds would be very impressive if they were produced by a standard 1K ZX80 but as for the C64... need I say more?

No loading problems were encountered - at least they've got something right.
