From the people who brought you "3D Tunnel" comes another superb game. Knot In 3D is a surround type game where you and the computer travel around the screen leaving trails which you must avoid.

This 3D version is clever and well written. The game is the straightforward surround but the screen is replaced by a large 3D space in which you are travelling. You steer yourself in four directions using the cursor keys which are adequate but take some getting used to. The trails left by yourself and the computer are depicted in fantastic 3D and come towards you at quite a speed.

The trails soon fill up the space and it becomes harder to find a path through the knots.

You can enter a demonstration mode after loading the tape, which provides a stunning display of the graphics capable from a Spectrum.

Most 3D games have either a graphics display or are an addictive playable game - but not both, this is one of the few that combine these qualities.

Knot In 3D from New Generation Software runs on a 48K Spectrum and is well worth the £5.95 price tag.
