REASONED Black Knight Software is an independent Amstrad software house whose most recent release is Time Bomb, a version of the arcade game of the same title. The game involves shunting a boot around a matrix of squares to reach a timebomb. As you pass across a square it disappears making subsequent timbebombs more and more difficult to reach. It's a fast action game which needs reasoning as well as zapping. This is a fairly true version of the original, retaining features like the extra point flags and the mines. It's machine code and fast, but suffers somewhat from small characters and simple sprite design. But it's a workmanlike copy of the original that won't massively disappoint fans.
