Word Feud is the most entertaining word game to arrive on the C&VG reviews desk since Psion's superb Spectrum Scrabble.

Unlike Scrabble it is surprisingly simple to learn. The idea of the game is to spot the hidden word buried in a mass of letters.

Using the joystick you move a grid around the screen until you spot the word. Get the word in the frame and press the Fire button. The first person to get the word in the frame wins.

You can choose whether to have three or four letter words. There is also an option to play against the computer as well as a friend.

In the one player version your computer opponent introduces a cute little character that bounces around the screen eating up the letters and destroying your chances of finding the hidden word.

Word Feud is one of those games that take you about twenty seconds to learn but which you can end up playing for hours.

Word Feud runs on a Commodore 64 and is available from Audiogenic of Reading at £9.95.
