Corn Cropper is a simulation of a farm in which you are required to transform your £50,000 into £250,000 within 55 months.

This is possible by planting, harvesting, irrigating, spraying as well as buying and selling. From this small selection of the possible commands you can see that a fair amount of control is available. The computer also supplies you with information on the predicted weather, state of the farm, etc, and sometimes even an unexpected telex message every so often. In the past, many simulation games have either had too few parameters or were too complicated. But because of the particular subject chosen in this case they have been able to incorporate a large number of options without making it complicated.

This is one of the best simulations I have seen for the Spectrum, and can safely recommend it very highly.
