This is the first of a dice trio to he followed by Snake lives and Craps. All three use the same central routines and a menu is provided to select between the games. This will produce an enjoyable set of dice games and save a lot of typing. Dice Derby is a race game in which the dice total is used to determine how far each horse travels. It can be played by two to four players and has an attractive shaking cup feature. The fire button is pressed to start the roll and again to finish. This means that each player can exercise control over the duration of each shake. The characters will race along until one is declared the winner. The winner is not determined until the last throw of the round and so some very close ‘photo finishes' are possible. It is possible to end the game and return to the menu by pressing ‘Shift' ‘Q' for quit. Another game can then be selected. Notes on typing in: the three dice games that follow can use the same routine called Dicerama! This should be typed first and then saved onto tape. The games can then be added one by one. Of course it will not be possible to select a game from the menu if it has not yet been entered. |
