Bitmania
By Virgin Games
Commodore 64

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #41

This game is hopeless.

The instructions rabbit on about neuron flows through the Commodore 64 and other such silliness. The game itself is nothing to shout about, and involves a tiny Space Invaders-type of laser base shooting at dots that come whizzing down the screen.

The screen is cluttered by these "neurons" that travel down the screen messing up the display.

The sound is boring, and the graphics are unimaginative and plain.

Apart from this, there is not much to say, as the game is very simple.

The instructions are to Virgin's usual high standard of packaging.

In this day and age, programs like this are just not on - the software-buying public has come to expect more.

Virgin has done better, so why does it have to push this on to the market?

With its flashy packaging and colour pictures on the inlay card, it will undoubtedly sell, but when you see the program working - what a let-down.
