This has got to be one of the most attractive-looking packages of software to cross my desk. The glossy case opens to reveal a full colour parents' booklet, some stickers for the kids and the cassette hiding within - and if you'll take my advice, that's where it should stay.

For, despite the superb presentation, the program is not worthy of the space it occupies.

There are in fact two programs, the first of them called Jigsaw. Here you have a picture made up of shapes which you have to match with the shapes that fall down the screen. This is done by pressing the space bar when they are superimposed on the matching shape. Pressing the bar at any other time results in the usual 'raspberry' sound.

The whole thing is boring for even young children, because only the shapes used in the picture ever appear, only their exact match in shape and size, there are never any mismatches seen!

The other program is a drawing package which builds pictures by putting shapes together.
