Wacky Waiters

Here for once is a game with an entirely original plot. You control a waiter who rushes from side to side of the screen serving customers with wine. The screen is divided into six floors linked by five lifts, and the waiter must be carefully glided on and off the lifts (errors are terminal).

Stumbling while carrying the wine results in a warning and three warnings result in the sack. The use of graphics was fair and animation good. The use of sound, however, was negligible.

Personally I found the game rather unsatisfying. Having developed a good plot and designed some good graphics, the programmer seems to have run out of steam.

I prefer good accurate instructions, but this game came supplied with a piece of rather tedious prose which bored rather than informed.
