The computer compilation cassette has finally arrived.
Select One contains twelve games, all originally released at
normal prices. It is a nice idea, but obviously quality is the most
important factor.
On Select One, quality is pretty good. Ocean provide three
very good games: Hunchback, Mr. Wimpy and the lesser-known
Transversion. Quicksilva provide three old but fairly playable
space games: Meteor Storm, Space Intruders and Time Gate, whilst
Bug-Byte present Pool, a very good version, plus Spectres, an early
but still fun Pacman. There is the highly praised political
adventure Denis Through The Drinking Glass from Applications.
Finally, there are three from Anirog: Missile Defence, plus two
dreadful games - Kong and Moon Buggy.
Although none of the games are new (with the exception of
the latter two Anirog programs) all are good, and would cost well
over £60 if bought individually. I suspect many people will
already have the best of these.
Still, it represents exceptional value if you want two or more of
the games listed, or you are new to the Spectrum. I look forward
to compilations of even better quality.
