Krocatile Waltz (Superior)

In this game you play the part of an ecologically sensitive native trying to protect the 'Krocatiles' on your stretch of jungle river. The poor souls are under threat of extinction from both big white hunters trying to turn them into handbags and watersnakes who just love Krocatile eggs.

You certainly have problems. Water-snakes keep biting you, hunters couldn't care less whether they shoot you or the swimming handbags and Krocatiles don't appreciate your kindness and they have a nasty habit of eating you. Is it all worth it? You might ask! Well, unless you've got pretty nimble fingers, it probably isn't.

Considering the price and the Oric's capabilities the graphics could have been a little smoother but the music is pure jungle, almost hypnotic.

Will other software houses please note the superb tape loading program used on this game?
