1 " You get an extra opponent on the second screen, and you get achance to replenish your starch when you run out."'" All in all, it's very similar to lots of other ladder games, but it does fit in 16K.":
1 " You control only one man at a time, the one nearest the ball, using keyboard or Kempston or Sinclair Interface 2 joysticks. Interface 2 has the advantage that two players can use sticks at the same time. Two on the keyboard is likely to lead to cries of 'offside'."
1 " You can use Sinclair Interface2, Kempston, or cursor joysticksor QAOP and the bottom row on the keyboard. Mr. Wong keeps moving in the direction he was last pushed, which makes it veryeasy to catch a ladder as you gopast. You just start him off to"
1 " You can destroy Doomdark by battle or quest for his source of power, the Ice Crown. There are four main characters which you direct to start with, and others are recruited throughout the game. The interaction is very complex. Luckily you get a 30 page instruction manual."
1 " You can choose your own keys for keyboard control, which alsoallows you to use most kinds of joystick, including Interface 2 and cursor sticks. Kempston joysticks are also supported. Why doesn't everyone do things this way?"
1 " You can choose skill levels from 0 to 9, but aren't told which end of the scale is the easiest and which the hardest. Istill am not sure, having tried both ends but not the middle. Pressing '0' starts the game at"
1 " We found no animated or arcadesequences at all during our partial exploration of this hugeprogram. The fight sequences arein the text adventure tradition.You select 'fight' and are then told who won. There are no joy- stick options, naturally."
1 " Those who know the game seem to like this version, though. Itis endorsed by a cricket star who says, 'It is a truly addic- tive game'. Aha, THAT'S why theydo it!":
1 " This manual is beautifully produced, with colour illustra- tions, the 'story so far', a mapand comprehensive guide to play.You also get a keyboard overlay,which is an absolute necessity.":
1 " This is really a single screengame, but the cabbage patch is in constant motion and there is an increase in difficulty with each successful 'days' weeding, so there is some variety."
1 " There is no arcade action in the game. The chosen players batand bowl in line with their chosen ratings, so putting a team together is where the ex- citement lies. You do have to decide whether to run or not or move fielders after each stroke,though."
1 " There is a full scoreboard with a printout feature so that you can carry it around asking, 'What does this mean?' But don'task me, I'm the guy who elicitedthe error message, 'Wicket keep-er cannot bowl'."
1 " The true flavour of the game comes through at once, as you are asked to choose a couple of teams, either from the 1st classcounty squads, or the test teamsor a team of your own devising. Then you have to decide whether to accept the computer's rating"
1 " The game is played on a 3D pitch before a noisy crowd, who buzz 'You'll never walk again' and other favourites until you go mad or press y to turn the sound off. At half time you are subjected to advertisements for Artic's other wares, which is"
1 " The amazing landscape graphicsdo not slow down the game at allas they appear instantaneously as you switch from screen to screen, scanning the horizon around eight points of the com- pass or switching from one char-acter to another."
1 " Not only killer tomatoes but murderous mushrooms and psycho- pathic swedes, all trying to eliminate the gardener who is peacefully weeding. And when yourun away, you are penalized for stepping on the cabbages."
1 " Here's one for those who don'tthink there is enough soccer on the telly already. With this program it can monopolize the box all summer as well, but whenwinter comes again you'll have to choose."
1 " Here's one for those who don'tthink there is enough cricket onthe telly already. With this program it can monopolize the box all winter as well, but whensummer comes again you'll have to choose."
1 " Extra features include an 8 place high score table which is fine if you have eight or more friends visiting, and a demo mode. The score for each 'day' is presented in the form of a payslip. Pretty good rates, too,at a hundred quid per weed!":
1 " Despite its tenner price tag, this has to be the best value inSpectrumware yet seen. There is even a novel prize for the firstperson to win the game. His featwill be turned into a novel!":
1 " Computers are not necessarily a help to the small businessman,and Mr. Wong must have gone off them completely after this game. Mr. Wong has to dash about collecting laundry while avoid- ing the deadly soap bubbles and steam iron. He has a limited"
1 " Beyond call this game an Epic rather than an adventure, and so it is. You can play it as a quest or a wargame, or you can combine both aspects to whateverdegree you wish. Beyond claim 32,000 different screens!"
