After reading the cassette insert, I began to get quite excited. I started the tape and eagerly awaited my chance to drive my "turbo-changed hot rod round a tortuous course".

On selecting the slow speed option, I was confronted with a full screen, symmetrical maze. I frantically scanned the screen and concluded that the only thing not moving - a strange, black, hat-shaped thing - must be me.

I started to move it around the maze leaving a pink trail behind. When caught by a ghost - why ghosts are chasing the "turbo-charged hot rod", I cannot imagine - the program plays an abridged version of "Frere Gustav" (See page 135, Sinclair manual).

On my third attempt I completed the first maze, but I found the second maze to be exactly the same. My last life finished, the program politely informed me that I'd completed "1 screens".

The instructions were quite adequate, but there is not much you can write about such a simple game. One plus point - the program offers a choice of control keys.
