Multigames 2

The blurb tells you that this tape contains 'five challenging games' for the Oric. Well. I'm not at all sure about that 'challenging' but it certainly does contain five games.

When you've carried out the truly challenging business of loading the program on to your Oric, you are confronted with Subs. This is a game with challengingly awful graphics; your ship could be anything, as could the submarines you try to depth-charge. The sea, though, is a pleasant blue.

3D Link is a version of three-dimensional noughts and crosses. The graphics are a great improvement on Subs, giving you four clear slabs of boards. You can play the computer, play another humanoid or let the computer play itself. Unless you are as coldly logical as Mr Spock you might well prefer the last option.

Third on the menu is... Hangman! You play the computer which draws out the figure as you get letters wrong. The graphics are again very poor. The first word you are faced with has three letters.

The remaining games on this dull compendium are Road Race and Moonlander.
