Another interesting yet devilishly simple game is this little reflex tester. You have to be faster than fuse wire, with the eyes of an eagle. Using the keys Z,X,M and K, your aim is to maneuver yourself around a randomly generated maze and diffuse the bomb before you're blown to bits. Shown as an 'X', you start off with five lives but lose one each time the time has run out and you haven't reached the bomb yet. You diffuse the bomb by moving on top of it. Sounds easy? Just look at how time flies!This ever popular and immortal fairground attraction is just as fun on computer. Starting with $10, the object of the game is to break the bank at $1000. The wheel contains the -numbers 1 to 9 and of course 0. You can bet four different ways - odds, evens, zero or a number of your choice. The money returned on a win depends on the chances, so here's a tip: don't put all your money on the zero, and don't take too many long shots. Random number generators do not have a history of leniency towards long shot punters! The Amstrad User |
