An excellent chance to pit your wits against the computer! Once the program has loaded - and there's plenty of time whilst loading to make a quick cup of tea (or a vodka and tonic) - and you have read the very comprehensive instrutions, the computer invites you to type in your name. Our reviewer found out why later, and is still suffering from high blood pressure when treated to a very smug message and a suggestion to take up chess after losing.

The screen then displays a rectangle of dots equally spaced which have to be made into boxes. The object of the game is to make more boxes than the 64 - not as easy as you would think. A single square displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen indicates the sides of a box by numbers (8,6,4,2 for top, right side, bottom and left side). The instruction at the top of the screen asks you which side of which square you wish to fill in. Move the joystick to the required place, and press the fire button.

A line is inserted; the C64 then makes its move, and you carry on in this way until either you or the C64 are forced into a position whereby a box can be completed. Each time a box is completed its background colour changes and an initial is inserted to show who completed it.

Smug messages notwithstanding, this is a good one. The graphics are excellent, as are the instructions and the design of the program. Highly recommended for those with devious minds and determination. Not recommended for those with blood pressure problems!
