A couple of drab adventures make up one of the latest series of releases in the Double Gold series from Incentive.

Zodiac is an adventure where many of the puzzles pass by unnoticed, if the player happens to be carrying the right object at the right time.

The DELETE key seems to have been replaced by the cursor key, making correction of typing errors a chore.

Collecting the signs of the Zodiac and delivering them to an evil wizard to avoid destruction of your tribe makes up the unlikely plot.

On the same cassette, Secret Of Life is a three-parter, almost unplayable due to a disastrous combination of background and foreground colours at some of the locations. No amount of fiddling with the TV controls renders text in these locations readable.

Both adventures have drab graphics, in a repetitive and overlarge border. Ugh!
