Fourth of the thirteen installments in this series published by Hobby Press, which included various games and utilities (most in Basic) that accompanied many of us in our first steps with the Spectrum.
I must admit that I was not a big fan, the Load 'n' Run (it would take a while to discover the obvious why) or Your Computer caught my attention, but you know, for different colors.
1. GARDENYou have to sow a field, getting the necessary seeds and water. It will rain and there will be fires you will have to deal with. [3.5]
2. SOLADORGame card | Download [3795]After staying without a job, you need to get money inmediately, so you accept a job that consists of putting tiles in all rooms of a house (a total of seven rooms).
This is the argument of this game, released on Microhobby Cassette tape No. 4. A simple program as all of this collection, coded in Basic, wic (...) [5.5]
3. CAZA MENORGame for two players, in which one player will control a mouse that must escape, and the other a snake that has to hunt. From the first creations of Manuel Orcera (El Cid, Antares ...). [2.7]
4. RULETAAs the name suggests, it is a Roulette simulator. You choose the bet and the computer calculates. [1.5]

You will have information on the line number and instruction that is being executed.
6. ALE HOPDownload [29]Another Manuel Orcera game, in Basic like the previous one. A thief has to jump to his goal. It is addictive and it has been well done. [5.5]
7. CRUZThe objective is to eliminate all the tiles, until there is one in the central square. [2]
8. EL DUENDE PERDIDODownload [30]You have to guide your elf (suspiciously similar to a Smurf) to the haunted house, where the blue elves await you, all based on jumps and small movements. [5]
9. PRONÓSTICO DE QUINIELASYou have to enter a lot of data (matchday, team names, games won, tied, lost ...) for it to calculate the probability.
10. CINTAS LOCASDownload [34]Your cassette has turned against you and returns all the tapes you give it. Your mission is to collect them. Programmed in Basic, a common circumstance, it is entertaining but repetitive. [4]
