Although the full game is written for 48K, one side of the cassette has been recorded for the 16K machine, with a second loading to play the last three games.

Both sides of the tape loaded first time with no trouble. All the instructions are on the screen, and I found them very easy to follow.

You are given £1,000 and the opportunity to increase the amount by playing a total of seven games. In the first, you bet on which of three ducks will finish a race first.

Game number two is a fruit machine type where you are given 10 "pulls" of the handle. .. this is where you can win a bob or two.

The third is a simple treasure hunt using a grid with hints given on which direction to take. In game four, Mastercode, you have to guess a four-digit code set by the computer. Fifthly, you have to keep a car on a winding road, and the amount of time on the track represents a percentage of £1,000 added to your hopefully increasing total. Game number six gives you a chance to bomb a ZX81 keyboard, and wipe it off the screen... it can be done.

A compendium of simple games strung together to make a game which I am sure will appeal to a wide age group. But for £6, a little overpriced.
