Warship!

When the Oric 1 first appeared, software as bad as this was suffered for quite a while by patient Oric owners. I thought we would see no more but sadly I was wrong. I wouldn't feel so aggrieved but they even have the cheek to charge nearly six pounds for it. Daylight robbery!

For those of you still interested the game involves navigating a warship and troopship through a minefield while defending yourself against gun batteries, helicopters and submarines. The game is written in BASIC and it shows! The cassette inlay says 48K but it will work on a 16K machine if the grab command is used before loading. One that I cannot recommend.
