Anyone who has nurtured ambitions to be a bloated capitalist can now act out the role with this game of property development speculation. It's for one to four players with the Spectrum playing vacant places. Each starts with £200,000 with the aim of making £1 million.

You take turns - quickly or, as in real life, the chance may disappear - at moving round an on-screen map, building, demolishing or purchasing pubs, houses, apartments, shops, factories and banks. All the rent collection, tax paying and other book-keeping is done for you. As the city is developed the map shows each players' property holding in a distinctive colour. Realistic features include varying property values to reflect, for example with a pub, the building nearby of houses for customers.

City has four game lengths, each with slightly different characteristics, along with a "save game" facility, necessary because of the time taken to complete a game. There are even two colour schemes in case one does not suit your TV!

A very well thought out, well presented package and very enjoyable to play. I would suggest, though, printed detailed instructions as well as those on screen.
