Jammin

A completely novel, superbly implemented and highly colourful program revolving around the music business, most strongly featuring full-blown rock 'n roll and guaranteed to give your SID chip a bashing.

The basic idea is to travel around a conveyor-belt-come-maze-come-Ludo-board in order to retrieve four musical instruments and return them to a central flashing light. You have to match up colours before hopping on or off the track. Bum notes, instrument stealers and (worst of all) dischords all hamper your smooth progress towards the next screen, where the going gets tougher.

Not only is it interactive music all the way (and I don't mean just a soundtrack!) but innovative visual effects are thrown in for good measure. Excellent option boards make for ease of use in a most refreshing game.

It is my solemn duty, however, to advise against the purchase of this tape if it is Ivor Novello only for you. Be really nasty; show it to a friend who decided not to buy a C64!
