Super Fruit is, yes, a one arm bandit game in which you win or lose money the game has given you in the first place. You start with being given the keys used in the game: Space bar spins reels, Return collects wins, G gambles, 1, 2, 3, 4 reel control (nudges, holds and swap reels), up/down arrows change nudge direction.

Also on this screen is the option to press Escape which will load the game straight away or Space bar which will give several pages of instructions on different aspects oof the game. These instructions are on win, gambling, nudges, swap reels and holds.

While the game is loading the screen shows the different combinations of things you require to win, of which the maximum is £4. When it is loaded you are shown the fruit machine and given £2 to start playing with. Each turn costs 20p thus giving you a minimum of ten turns. When you run out, a little tune is played and you are asked "Another £2", to which you then press the Y or N keys.

This is a very well-written game, but I find it difficult to get excited about a game that goes nowhere and achieves nothing, and I therefore feel that the time the writer spent on the game could have been more constructively spent on something more stimulating.
