Mr Reviewer has an educational program featuring his friends, the Mr Men. It contains four games to teach four to eight year olds directions. Whoopee! Mr Reviewer's mental age is five. Also, Mr Reviewer could never tell his left from his right. But there you go. Here he has to guide things from his own and the Mr Men's point of view. The first jigsaw game is a bit boring, but making Mr Tickle tickle Mr Grumpy is much more fun. Then a big worm has to be sent up a tree to knock apples into Mr Lazy's mouth. Finally four Mr Men gang up against Mr Tickle on a chess board. Roger Hargreaves'cartoons transfer well to the micro, as those nice Mr Men at Mirror-soft have shown before. A colour television is advised for these games though. Mr Reviewer thinks that this program should suit the age-group suggested, but youngsters will need guidance. John Minson
