Here's your chance to win £100! Superior Software are offering this to the first person who can complete all twelve screens of their latest release, Repton. Proof of completion must be a photograph of the congratulatory message and the closing date for entries is September 30th.

Each screen has a different maze layout, through which you have to dig to reach diamonds. When all of them have been collected you are given a password that must be entered to allow progress to the next screen. Rocks are stategically placed throughout the tunnels. These will fall when earth is removed, so a carefully planned and cautious route must be taken to avoid being trapped or squashed. On the first eight screens there is a map available to help you.

The first screen is easy to negotiate, but after that some diamonds wiJJ be locked away in safes. To open these a key must be located. Eggs are also encountered from which may hatch a hungry reptile, hot on your heels.

A time limit is set for the completion of each screen. If you take too long, you lose a life. The instructions maintain that it is possible to complete each screen without losing a life, but this allows no mistakes.

Using passwords to enter various screens is a useful idea. Once you know them you can start wherever you want. By some inspired guesswork, however, I was able to identify 6 passwords, but not, worst luck, the one for the final screen.
