You are in a maze protected by robots. The aim is to destroy these, either by shooting them or causing them to collide and hence destroy themselves. They continuously change colour and, depending on this, your score is calculated. If a robot goes green then it is indestructible until it changes again, so it is a good idea to keep out of its way. When one lot of robots have been destroyed then a new maze and robots are created. If you are killed, a small tombstone is built, and another of your three lives is lost. Tobor can also be used as a two player game, in which the players take it in turn to try their skill against the robots.

Though the principle is pretty straight-forward, the graphics are good and the way in which the game has been put together is good and very professional indeed. It is definitely a program that I would recommend.

As far as I know, Elfin Software have not been in existence for long, though they have a good range of Spectrum programs, including: 3D Starwars, Checkman, 3D Game Hunt, Pilot and Pack Man. I very much look forward to receiving these titles as, if they come up to the high standard of Tobor, then they too should be very good value for money. My only grievance would be that the instructions were rather limited.
