I long for a home where the buffalo roam and the sky is cloudy all day! Well, maybe not. But Happy Trails, the latest game for the Intellivision will give you a taste for the Wild West.

Remember those little plastic games you used to get in Christmas crackers. The ones where you have to move small squares around in a bigger square to get the correct sequences of numbers, letters or colours. Well, Happy Trails is a bit like that. Except that this time you have to manipulate the squares to provide the hero of Happy Trails, the Sheriff of the Badlands, the most direct route to the villanous Black Bart and his stolen loot. You have to arrange the best route for the Sheriff so he can collect the cash and catch Bart.

As the game progresses the play area gets larger and the speed increases. This means that instead of being able to move four blocks of land to create a route you can have up to 32 pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that can be moved!

A splendid game incorporating speed of reaction with a large degree of strategy and planning.

Happy Trails is in the shops now at £29.95 for the Intellivision video games console.

Best Intellivision release since Burgertime.
