Cassette 50 (Cascade)

This is a unique cassette in that a large number of assorted games have been compiled to provide the entertainment derived from the sheer diversity of the audio/visual impacts achieved by the Commodore 64.

Most of the games use either the keyboard or a joystick and provide full on-screen instructions. Examples include a pac-man look alike, adventures, lunar lander, noughts & crosses, blackjack, hangman etc.

There are 50 games in all, mostly written in Basic, thereby providing the best educational tour guide for those who prefer working with the user guide, rather than 'on' a user guide. As most of the games are in Basic they are listable and therefore allow the user to learn by experimentation (i.e. the 'What happens if...' method).

For the price of a single arcade game, this collection of games may not have the same addictive appeal but it does provide a little something extra than just entertainment.
