The Single Button Game Controller (www.sibuga.com) acts as a single fire button when plugged into either joystick port. There have been several games designed just for a single button, and it has the added benefit of acting as the Space Bar when plugged into port 1 (useful for some games that needed that extra control, e.g. Green Beret).

The coverdisk for issue 9 of K&A Plus magazine collected together five of these games, plus an extra game entitled Firefighter (originally entered into the 10-line BASIC coding competition, Enhanced Firefighter was given away as a type-in listing in the Deluxe Edition's manual). And so a special collector's tape of the five games was put together for release. The games are:

1. Captain Cloudberry (Megastyle) - your plane can only turn left when Fire is pressed, so it is tricky to collect the balloons left behind by the evil witch without hitting the clouds.
2. Pixel City Skater (Digital Monastery) - in this 4K game there are two modes based around a skater; normal mode speeds up every few screens, where endless mode gives scrolling obstacles to avoid or jump over.
3. Fire To Jump (Software of Sweden) - a stylish game where the timing is crucial to get the cube over the obstacles.
4. Flapper (Endurion/Megastyle) - based on a Flash game, guide the helicopter through the scrolling canyon pressing Fire to gain height.
5. Flappy Bird (Sos) - the C64 version of the phenomenally successful mobile app, where the bird must flap its way through the pipes.

The cassette and inlay are very well made, with the cute stickers (representing each game) a nice bonus. Single button games can be very monotonous, but Captain Cloudberry and Pixel City Skater are a lot of fun thanks to their great presentation. Fire To Jump really ups the ante with its unique rotating jump and carefully chosen colour schemes.

Flapper is very simple, and Flappy Bird never really appealed to me. Although the latter looks good it becomes repetitive very quickly. This is very much a collector's piece, as the games themselves are all freely available online.

The gorgeous Deluxe Edition may have sold out, but there is fun to be had with the selection on this tape - whether or not you have the SiBUGA controller they were designed for.
