There are two programs on this tape. The first is another version
of the old favourite, Frogger. This one is for two players: once
one player loses a frog, it is the turn of the other.
There are three levels, and the frogs can move in any of the
usual joystick directions. As usual, you must guide your frog
across a road and over a river. An added incentive to swift
decision-making is the passage of a street-sweeper. Extra points are
awarded if you land in a safe haven with the 'P' logo in it.
The second program is worth just about every other program I
have ever seen put together. The aim is simple: guide Norbert
from block to block on a pyramid, changing the colour of each as
you go.
You must avoid various monsters, and as each pyramid is completed,
so a more difficulty one takes its place. You have three lives,
and a running score and high score are displayed. Occasionally,
poor sprite coincidence detection permits you some leeway, which
actually adds to the enjoyment of the game. Excellent!
