This offering from a new northeast software house combnes four Basic programs on one tape. The games follow a similar theme; requiring a mixture of skill and luck against the computer on board-type games.

The games are called Senat, Tablan, Chase The Girls, and Palm Tree and they are very disappointing.

The only instructions provided are those on the tape when the game is loaded, which are very poor, making it almost impossible to play. It took several hours to review this tape and I am certain the effort was not worthwhile.

Although you get four games on tape, they are so similar that it makes little difference which one you play. If there is any enjoyment, it is in puzzling out how to play, as there isn't much to them once you manage to get going!

As there are an increasing number of good quality programs appearing for the Oric, this is out of place. It does not make the grade, made up of the types of programs which the micro magazines consider are not good enough to publish.
