A large grid is displayed on the screen and in one of the squares on that grid, gold is hidden. Move your man round the screen by entering the co-ordinates of the square to which he must move. After each turn, the direction in which the gold can be found will be displayed and a section of the screen in which the gold is not present will be blocked-off.

Gold Search was written for the BBC B and Electron by A. Beesley of Abingdon, Oxon, who has used it at school for educational purposes.
