Two puzzles, Brainstorm and Puzzler, on one cassette. Brainstorm sets you to discover number sequences in which hidden numbers on a grid are revealed individually for a few seconds, then blanked off again.
When you discover number 1, this remains uncovered, and on on for 2, 3, etc, until all the numbers have been exposed in the correct sequence. (You've probably played this type of game with cards laid face down on a table.)
Puzzler is a computerised version of another game you've probably played before, where you shuffle letters around in a little plastic tray until they're in alphabetical order.
The programs are well written, well crash-proofed and well presented, but I don't think they will set any pulses racing. New themes are needed, not old wine in new bottles.
