Solitaire/Tower Of Hanoi

Two games at £8.95 for the standard Sord M5 with Basic-I. I wasn't expecting much from these programs as they are written in 4K and when I loaded them I was right. They are very simple games.

Solitaire is the traditional board game where you try and clear as many pieces as you can by jumping over the ones immediately next to them.

Tower Of Hanoi is also well known. You've probably seen it published for the more popular micros in magazines. It's the game in which you move the pyramid-shaped edifice from one position to another, but only one tier can be moved at a time and you can only transfer smaller tiers on top of larger ones.

Both programs were well foolproofed and I could not crash them. Considering the limitations of Basic I, they are quite good and you may find studying these programs more beneficial than reading the rather poorly written Basic I manual. In any case I must confess I did enjoy these games and at £8.95 for two, you can't be too critical, can you?
