There must be some limit to the number of 'problem solving' games that the world can take - even good ones like Equinox. In Equinox you become a little rocket-assisted spherical robot, jetting around an underground complex defusing unstable nuclear reactors. To do this, certain objects must be collected and used in a certain order. That is basically the essence of the game.

In Equinox the graphics are up to the good standard that Amstrad owners are starting to come to expect, with good use of colour shading, flicker-free smooth animation of all the graphics. The controls of your little robot are simple and the response is good. Other than that, there isn't a great deal that you can say about the game as the whole scheme of things revolves around the problem-solving aspect of the game, and I can't really tell you about them all - but they are good.

Again, with a game of this type you can either take it or leave it - with this game though I'd probably take it!
