Very seldom do I receive a game that I truly think is excellent and would gladly recommend for purchase.

Don't Buy This is not one of these games. In fact it's not five of these games since it's a compilation tape.

The first of the gruesome games is Race Ace, a racing simulation that is to Pole Position what a Reliant Robin is to a Ferrari and consists mainly of block graphic cars crawling around a right angled track.

The second cretinous creation is Fido. Fido is the sort of program which would undoubtedly damage your computer if you load it. You must prevent moles digging holes in the garden. Fido achieves this by bashing them with his tail. For no apparent reason he is being attacked by low flying birds which he can duck by standing up!

The third dastardly derivation is Weasel. Most of the fun in Weasel is to be had in the key definition stage and if you manage to define the keys my advice would be to immediately unplug the computer and quit whilst ahead.

The fourth pathetic program is Fido 2, the long awaited sequel to Fido and so completely devoid of any features whatsoever is it, that I'm not going to mention it any further.

The last lethargic listing is Fruit Machine which appears to be a simulation of the inside of a ping pong ball, it certainly has as much interest as one.

So to sum up this is the worst waste of a good tape I have ever had the misfortune to review, a new Dave award has been specially created for this and it richly deserves it - DEAD.
