A version of the familiar Pairs or Pelmanism game, usually played with a pack of cards.

Twelve symbols are secretly plotted over a grid on the screen and the players, up to four of whom can take part, take turns in selecting positions.

The symbols at the chosen pair of positions are briefly revealed and re-hidden if they do not match.

Since there are 48 positions, the maximum number of pairs is 24, and a point is awarded for successful choice.

The 48K version has an attractive jingle not available on the 16K and, slightly more important, it also has instructions. However, 16K owners who couldn't figure out how to play the game probably wouldn't get as far as loading the program in the first place!

Having said that, I had some difficulty in loading the 48K version, but I found that had been mastered, I found the program was clearly presented and attractively laid out.

Nine of the 12 symbols are re-defined characters - why were the other thre left unattended to?

Simple, but fun, this game would appeal to the younger members of the family.

P.S.W.
