The first thing I noticed upon opening the cassette case was "Speedload" on Side 1 and "Supersafe" on Side 2. (Different I thought). So I proceeded to load as per, instructions and I was presented with a rather pleasant screen display. After reading the instructions I went on to play. The screen showed a grid marked around the sides with letters and numbers. There are 8 sectors each with a different grid display. The sound effects were reasonable and added a little more to the general layout. They tell you when it is your go and when you score a hit, which in my case was not very often. There were plenty of screen prompts which helped me understand the game. There are two play speeds fast and slow. I found the instructions a bit confusing at first but I soon got the hang of it. The game itself is a very sophisticated version of battle ships. With a handy 'save' feature so you can stop playing, save and come back to it later, the only fault I found was that there was no option for two players. Warzone is perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but it is a good game for those long winter nights.
