Hey, I've discovered air hockey. It's brilliant. For years I've always wondered what that game was called in the arcades and amusement halls where you skim this puck across a shiny table smacking it around with bats, busting up your knuckles in the process. Now I know.

It's really nothing special to look at and I thought it would be pretty boring. Half an hour later I was still eager for more. It's exciting, addictive and fiendishly fast.

The other games on Indoor Sports are bowling, darts and table tennis. All very good but you've seen them before.

Ping pong is my next favourite. Again, it's nothing much to look at, simple to play, great fun, very addictive. An early copy I played had a bug in it. The computer kept serving to me at a certain angle, making it impossible to return. This has now been corrected.

Darts and bowling are nicely presented and fun to play. But it's air hockey that's the winner for me. If Indoor Sports was a little cheaper I'd say it was worth buying for that alone.
