This is an odd game. Let me quote from the inlay card: you have to find your way from the centre of a block of rooms. The computer will tell you which way you are facing to start. You must decide which of the four doors will be open and turn to face it. You will then progress to another room. Your score increases as you move outward and you can gain bonus points by getting to the outside quickly.

Totally confused, I loaded the game, which was preceded by pages of instructions just as incomprehensible as the inlay card. When it loaded, a simple grid was drawn with a big black blob in the centre. Having absolutely no clue what to do, I pressed a few cursor keys. The blob moved about and after a few random presses, I finished the game with a very good score.

In fact, I did manage to grasp the game in the end but when I knew what to do, my score was worse.

I can't see who would be interested in this game. It's terribly dull.
