Hop to it and guide your frog troop home in this arcade classic by Stephen Merrigan
GREBIT is an arcade classic. No games collection is complete without at least one version, and this is one of the best.
As the leader of a troop of frogs it's up to you to guide everyone home after a night on the town.
You have to shepherd - or is it frogherd? - them, one by one, across the road, dodging the cars, lorries and buses.
Then you must cross the river by jumping from log to log, taking advantage of the turtles swimming past.
Once all the frogs are home you start again - but this time there's heavier traffic on the road and fewer logs and turtles in the river.

Undo the wizard's wicked work in this adventure by Steve Lucas
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there lived an evil necromancer.
He terrorised the villagers and stole all their valuables.
Your task is to search the land and return five items of treasure.
There are 48 different locations and many puzzles and obstacles to overcome.
Your must give the computer instructions in the form of simple one or two word sentences such as GET TORCH or THROW ROPE.
All instructions must be in capitals only. If your command is not understood then try saying it in a different way.
The data has been coded by shifting the ASCII value of the descriptions in the DATA statements, which makes it more difficult to solve the game by examining the listing.
Take extra care when entering these lines.
The following utilities are also available to allow you to edit the supplied screens of this game:

I do not believe that there is yet a true wargame available for the Electron of a standard acceptable to serious wargamers, but Battlefields is certainly leading the way.
If you use both the BBC Micro and Electron, the Plus 3 and this DFS is by far the best disc system to go for.
It's a pity that a couple of the programs are very poor, but the package as a whole is worthwhile for 16-year-old physics students.
An ideal adventure for the novice and one worth having on anyone's shelf. Recommended.
An attempt to squeeze a little more life out of the Invaders/Galaxian theme... A nice idea but it will never be a classic.
Maths With A Story 2 (BBC Soft)
Simple screen prompts, along with optional demonstration runs, make the comprehensive booklet supplied with the tape superfluous, and good protection from mischievous fingers enables the programs to be used by pupils without supervision.
The environment provided by Acornsoft's Workshop is definitely conductive to logical thinking and closely simulates that of a real workshop.
I was left feeling somewhat baffled by this game, though I hasten to add that the problem is obviously mine and not the program's.
