Death Cruise

Yet another game from the growing Virgin catalogue. This attempt at Adventure is really rather tedious and does not show the potential I feel Virgin must have.

The game is set on the luxury liner Pacific 1, and among the guests and passengers is HRH King David. The problem is that the evil Mr. Sinister is out to kill him with a bomb!

The way to save HRH is, say the instructions, to find the bomb, the room containing the detonator and to identify Mr. Sinister.

Well, reading the cover of the game led me to believe that within its tape an Adventure was to be found lurking, ready to treat me to hours of enjoyment.

All I found was a very poor attempt at an adventure game. My main criticism is that the vocabulary is the worst I have ever come across in my life!

For the Dragon 32 from Virgin, Death Cruise costs £6.95.
