WISE AND FOOL Amstrad owners into adventuring have been kept occupied (almost singlehandedly) by the Arnold Blackwood series of adventurers by Nemesis Software. The third section has recently been completed and is entitled The Wise and Fool of Arnold Blackwood. Although text only, the screen design for the program has been carefully considered so that descriptions, inputs, objects and responses are clearly delineated. The blurb for the game boasts that there are no sudden deaths, ie, merely going East rather than West isn't going to leave you impaled on a spear or blasted by a death ray. All that happens in the game is you go no further, unable to penetrate any further into the labyrinthine mysteries and hating yourself for being such a dummy. Characters from previous Arnolds turn up here — Mexican Pete, Lord Erbus; Rochdale features heavily as do gravestones and daffodils. There are cinematic references aplenty for buffs and conspiracy theorists will enjoy the paranoia that pervades the adventure. PCW
