Another tape from IJK Software with two games; this one making use of Oric's sound and graphics capabilities to good effect.

Candyfloss is a selling game in which you run your own business making and selling candyfloss on Blackpool's Golden Mile. There are the comforting sounds of the sea breaking on the beach and tunes to accompany the weather forecast as you battle to make enough money to buy another cassette! But be wary for there are also several disasters to trap you.

The program is written entirely in Basic, is easy to use and is crashproof. Up to fifteen people can play though I think for such a large group the progress of the game would be too slow.

The screen presentation uses low resolution graphics and is colourful and appropriate to the game. The only trouble is that having played it a few times I quickly lost interest - as well as capital and assets!

Hangman is a splendid version of the favourite game and again combines the best of Oric's musical and graphic abilities. The rules and progression of the game are well know and need no explanation here. The program contains seven categories each of 60 words with the facility for you to add your own category and words if you wish. The instructions are adequate and the game provides good fun for all ages. The low resolution graphics mode draws the victim and you can watch his expression change as the game progresses.
