Maurice Minor

Maurice, the Morris Minor, took a wrong turning one day while out for a drive. Finding himself in the middle of a Grand Prix instead of a quiet country road, he enters into the spirit of things and takes on the racing cars at their own game.

Maurice Minor incorporates six difficulty levels, a display grid showing the level of damage and Hall of Fame.

In each level the speed of the game increases - you could take it easy and start as a Sunday Driver or jump to the other end of the scale as the King Pin where, I assure you, Maurice really shifts!

I found it impossible to get anywhere in the faster levels due to the failings of the Dragon joystick. Maurice is very sluggish in answering the controls and it's impossible to keep him travelling in a straight line.

One real gripe - while we were playing Maurice Minor the program crashed three times for no apparent reason! Maurice Minor is available from Leeds-based J. Morrison Micros for the Dragon 32 at £6.95.
