The first bit of the BT software is Crazy Caverns, which fits into the 16K Spectrum (some companies have not forgotten you, 16K users).

It is interesting that the introductory screen is not your usual screen loaded from the tape, but is drawn from the loader program, producing a swirling graphic display before the main program is loaded.

A 16K cassette is noticeably faster to load than a 40K one, which is a great plus for 16K games as I find it extremely non-productive waiting for games to load.

Either using a cursor joystick or keys Q, A, O and P, the idea is to go around a screen (again!) and feed the mouth with the Crunchy Cubes that are positioned around the screen. The idea is to line up the Crunchy Cubes and shoot them into the munching mouth.

Yes, there are Crazy Crashers which move in an annoyingly random way to prevent you accomplishing your task.

The idea of this game is innovative, but boredom ensues as it is not very exciting just going round screens as feeder, shoving biscuits into a chomping mouth.

This game would have been better a year ago, as it appears to be rather dated now, but for the 16K Spectrum, what can you expect?
