These three games are nicely presented, with full printed instructions.

Kong is a version of the popular game. Igor, the villain, has left a time-bomb slowly making its way towards the maiden, so Kong also has a time limit. After each rescue, the screen format changes and each display gets harder.

Bouncer is a balloon-type character whom you manoeuvre with your joystick from one trampoline to another gaining points. At the same time you must avoid arrows which will puncture the bouncer.

The third game is Romeo, who is on a desert sand dune. He has to jump and catch balloons which transport him to the next dune. If you wait too long Romeo gets overheated and dies. After five screens of dunes, Romeo is deposited in shark-infested water with logs floating on the surface. He must reach the bank and make his way through a cave avoiding the stalagmites to reach a maiden.

The entire package is well programmed and uses excellent colour and graphics. There is no option for keyboard input, and joysticks must be used. Good value for money. Needs Extended Basic.
