Games Pack One is a collection of three basic programs written in Basic. Firstly, Mastermind is the now classical number sequence guessing game, in which the player plays against the computer.

Sadly, unlike other games of this type, you cannot set the computer a problem to solve and data entry is very confusing.

The two graphics games, Ski-Run - a slalem (their spelling) course - and Car Maze, are variations on the theme where a player avoids upward scrolling obstacles by controlling speed and side-to-side direction.

The program work, and are of the average standard of those found listed in magazines, but my only recommendation can be that they are cheap.
