Caterpillar

Simple 1983 game in which you are a Caterpillar, and have to move around the screen collecting the stars in an agreed time limit. Its pretty uncomplicated fun and the only thing that spoils it is a slight unresponsiveness in the controls. The graphics are very simplistic, just text based really, but it isn't a bad attempt.

Liberator

A 3d shoot em up, with very impressive graphics, they move very solidly and fluently, and it looks very good indeed, it is a bit moronic to play, but it is nice how the designer got everything to move in 3D so well! There are four phases, each with a different 3d landscape to fly along (the landscape is fixed position, you just move the laser sights) and it really is worth a play or two!

Missile Control

A good version of Missile Command, this one works very well, the controls take some getting used to, but aftetr that it is probably the best version on the BBC! The graphics are very neat and really well done, and the whole thing looks very polished, I was amazed at how good it was compared to the relative anonymity of the company!

Sleigh Bells

Christmassy game in which you have to perform a variety of different tasks such as avoiding maurading snowmen to get to a cave and moving thorugh caves whilst dodging bats and falling icicles. Its ok, but a bit dull and unresponsive, the graphics are very poor.

Sting

A simple little game in which you have to pick up objects in a certain order, whilst avoiding a bee which flys around the screen. it is very nicely animated and graphics are good, but it is a bit simplistic and there isn't much depth. Worth a play for the younger players!

Selection of games, Accordian, Backgammon, Gin Rummy and Piquet. They all have pretty good graphics, but there isnt really much of any excitement to be found in this collection. I always think it is a waste of a computer to have it simulate card games and board games!
