Last 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
1. TICK LAND
Download 2806 download·6.7
In my opinion I dare to say that this was one of the best games that Microhobby Cassette published at the time and, since I appreciate it very much, I will try to be as objective as possible.

I would say that the game has two great virtues. One, that the author managed to give it a great setting with very (...) [6.7]
2. CASTILLO EMBRUJADO, EL
Download 3084 download·4.5
Un alquimista harto de tanta guerra y maldad por el mundo decide crear un hechizo que provoca la paz instantánea en la región que se utiliza. Al paso de los años, el alquimista muere y el hechizo en forma de fórmula escrita pasa de generación en generación, hasta llegar a las manos de un general que amaba la (...) [4.5]
3. FONTY EL FONTANERO
Download 32 download·5.5
Miserable and small graphics, but you have to admit that the game is as simple as it is fun.

In Fonty, you have to guide the plumber through a stage of platforms and close all the leaks before the water drowns us. By the way, the effect of water is quite successful.
4. FUERZA AÉREA
5
Flight simulator written in Basic; despite the limitations that this entails, it was a good opportunity to try a more "adult" genre than we were used to.
5. MANIC MAN
4.5
You have to escape from the maze, for which you must collect the pyramid pieces and group them. In Basic, like almost all, without anything remarkable.
6. DAMAS
Download 31 download·5.5
As its name indicates, it is a Basic version of the popular board game. The tiles are moved by entering coordinates.
7. PATUFET
Download 2906 download·6
In Microhobby Cassette Nº13 we find many surprises and one of them is called Patufet.
For those who don't know, Patufet is the Catalan version of the popular tale Tom Thumb, and the first thing that stands out is that Pere Butjosa, the author of the program, is very explicit in wanting to make it clear that (...) [6]
8. GOLDEN EAGLES
5
You must repel the invasion of the Melkins, for which you must destroy their ships, as well as rescue the hostages.
9. WARLAND
5
You must destroy the enemy ships with your laser, avoiding damaging the islands.
10. MERCADO
6
Our mission is to be true speculators, taking advantage of the changes in the prices of the goods that are put up for sale in the market. Fun strategy game.
