Pat The Postman (Mikro-Gen)

Pat The Postman comes with instructions of a kind. Unfortunately there is no mention of which keys to use, but I found these to be the cursor keys. There are brief instructions on loading.

There was no problem in loading and I was impressed by the graphic display. The object of the game is to collect and deliver items to houses and the post office, but there are vans on the street intent on knocking you down. You must hurry to the fire station if you go to the wrong house as the post office will burn down.

The game is a good idea, but one strong point that spoilt it was the movements (once you have found the keys) they were terribly slow and you have to lift your finger off the keys before you can change direction.

There is a high-score feature and a choice of amateur or professional. Overall, the graphics are great.
