Eleventh 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, to each his own.

Magazine contents

Adventure inspired by the game Cluedo, in which we have to find the weapon used for a murdered person.

Despite being in Basic, it is quite cool, and above all, it is original. (...) [6.8]

2. SCREENS

Program to draw pictures with your Spectrum, one of the many that were included in this type of magazines.

3. WILLIE "EL TRAVIESO"

·6

You are a famous archaeologist who has been hired with a single objective: to find an ancient scroll that is hidden in one of the thirty rooms of the Temple of Seth. Simple but entertaining.

He is neither more nor less than the Seven and (...) [7]

7. SIGFRIDO

It looks very good, but it is extremely slow. A shame

8. YING YANG

Download 24

·6

Based on the Karate games of the time, this Ying-yang is a fairly competent attempt at a martial arts game. It is very entertaining and quite fast, being coded in Basic.

9. TARÁNTULA

Download 21

·6.5

You are a tarantula that has to go hunting fireflies, avoiding falling into the water. Really entertaining, it remembers me Moggy.

10. DESCOLOCAS

You have to reorder the parts of a screen that they show you at the beginning. It has several levels of difficulty.
