Oh! P-Toon

Ever seen one of those pontoon games printed in computer books? Well, this is a posh version of one of those.

Not many points for originality but I did like the graphics. What they have done is taken the basic game of pontoon and given it a new twist. [Keep it up, Clive - Ed]

What you have to do is watch three cards which appear one after another and add up the total. If the cards are less than 21 you have to press the key B; if it adds up to 21 you have to press N, and if you have over 21, you have to press M.

Points are awarded for speed in adding up the cards, the faster you can add up the cards the more points you get. (Sounds exciting, doesn't it?)

If you get bored you can change the rate of points you get. Never mind, the graphics are great. After you have loaded the tape, you have the option of playing the game or reading the instructions. One small bug here. When you have read the instructions, you have to press a key to move onto the game, but when you do this, it crashes!

Oh! P-Toon is written for the 48K Spectrum and will set you back £4.95.
