Written especially for Dragon by ASK the educational software specialists, this attractively packaged cassette contains a choice of picture and word games for the younger Dragon user.

The games are all designed to help short term memory.

All the versions on side A and on side B are variations on the main theme. Pictures are placed in boxes, either by the child or by the computer, depending on which version is played. The child has to remember which picture is in which box.

Not all the games require the child to spell, and some of them don't even require the child to read.

The programs cater for a wide age range and an even wider range of abilities. Full instructions and a dictionary are provided in the enclosed booklet.

The graphics are excellent. Each picture matches its description well and is easily recognised by even the youngest child.

There are buses and cars, castles and cats, as well as basic shapes such as triangles, squares and hearts.

A little overpriced, perhaps, but all in all this is a sound educational program and well worth considering.
