Swag is a brand new one or two player game for the BBC Micro featuring Mode 2 multi-coloured graphics and a practice feature where you can play against the computer.

The game of Swag involves you pitting your wits against the other player to become the first person to steal £250,000 in diamonds. There are several killer droids that try to hamper you in your task of stealing the diamonds. You can also shoot at police cars, but this has the effect of making them angry (the police, not the cars), and they then give chase (giving extra money to your opponent). Apparently the only way you can stop these police cars from chasing you is by "...drinking a car of bear..."! (Is this a sly advert for a famous lager or just a misprint by Micro Power?)

Overall, Swag is a very hectic and enjoyable game with a lot of shooting and action and, at £6.95, gives good value for money.
