A set of seven small games linked by a money-scoring theme. To allow compatibility with the 16K Spectrum the games are loaded in two passes, a second load being performed after the first four games have been played.
The first game invites you to back one of three ducks which will race across the screen. The second is a fruit machine simulation, the third is a treasure hunt, and the fourth is a version of Mastermind. If you succeed, your money increases, if you fail it is halved.
The first game after the second load invites you to crash more than 100 cars in a stock-car race simulation, the next is a fairly good version of Bomber in which you try to clear away tall buildings before your plane descends far enough to crash into them, and the last game is an off-beat hunt for gold in a small maze.
The graphics are very good indeed, and there are some amusing comments here and there. The whole thing, in fact, is a little tongue-in-cheek, poking legitimate fun at some of the less polished offerings.
