Blue Ribbon have released a number of new programs on one disc. All the programs can also be bought separately on cassette for £2.50 each.

The first game is Astro Plumber, in which you walk or jet around a platform type screen sealing air leaks with a laser gun.

Diamond Mine II is the sequel to the popular Diamond Mine. The nozzle of your vacuum pipe is guided around a maze sucking up diamonds.

Ravage is probably the best game on the disc. It is a 3D Starwars type space battle with nine levels of difficulty.

Joey is a kangaroo in a simple platform and ladder game with nine fairly challenging screens. A feature of this game is an aborigine who throws spears and boomerangs at Joey.

The last program is a drawing utility called Artist. It has almost all the basic drawing functions (rubber-banding, filling, etc) except for arc drawing (an annoying omission).

My main grumble about the games is the complete lack of keyboard instructions; only two of the five games had them! Although most layouts can of course be guessed by trial and error, it seems incredible that this omission could go unnoticed. Overall, the package represents reasonable value for money and the standard of graphics is high.
