The Code

This is a highly complex text-only adventure puzzle, with a prize of £25,000 for anyone who can complete it. Ten runners-up prizes of £25 are also available. The idea being that you are a secret agent in a Russian military establishment. You must work your way through four floor levels to reach the code room, and crack the code.

The program is highly detailed in text-only adventure, with extremely complex problems to be solved. This is to be expected considering the sum of money involved if you can beat it.

Verdict: Only buy it if you are superb at solving difficult puzzles and can think laterally, or are very short of cash! If, like me, you can't progress very far through the program, at least there is a nice Bogart screen picture to look at while the tape is loading.
