It's hard to believe that this program has ever been released as a commercial cassette. I would even have been upset if I had spent time keying it in from a magazine.

How anyone has the audacity to charge nearly £9 for this program is beyond belief. In short, I don't like it (You'd guessed?) and it hasn't any redeeming features that I can find.

The aim of the game is to guide a snake around a box without touching the sides or the snake itself, and to eat as much as possible of the food on offer.

The snake is just a string of Teletext graphic characters which do nothing to enchance its credibility, and the food is simply a number of hash signs scattered around.

The makers seem to believe that "difficult is exciting" which I don't find to be the case.

To get on to the high scores you have to devour 100 pieces of food with a snake moving in a manner reminiscent of a burst balloon.

There isn't even a sense of achievement as you eat the food, because each piece is replaced by another - which means you never complete the screen.

The best part of this game is without doubt the instructions.
