At last someone has got the ofﬁcial rights

to make the computer game of Trivial

Pursuit. There have been several look

alikes but this one from Domark is the

real McCoy.

Apparently, not only is it the author-

ised version but it also features a great

technical innovation called uniload. This

is a unique system allowing a universal

question tape to be loaded into either

the Spectrum, C64 or Amstrad.

The game will be launched at the

PCW show in September and will set you

back a mere 114.95 - cheaper than the

board game!

Martech has a new release due in

August. W.A.R. is the story of a mech-

anical race whose sole purpose is to seek

out and conquer. The latest victim of this

lust for power is, of course, the Earth.

The task is to save the world - which

seems to be getting into a lot of scrapes

lately, Now you can play at W.A.R. but

look out for the unmerciless Droidians.

A'n'F has recently launched a 'true

arcade adventure' entitled Core. The

action takes place in real time with full

graphical display, plenty of puzzles and

over 1000 locations.

The object of the game is to guide

Asteroid Andy around a labyrinth of

tunnels to ﬁnd nine parts of a biological

memory bank which will reveal to you

the cause of the sudden and tragic death

of all the scientists on the asteroid. A bit

unproductive but probably better than

saving the world again.

The game is for the C64 and costs

0195.

The wild west once again reaches

your computer screen, this time in the

form of a new release from US Gold.

The Law of the West, sees you en-

rolled as sherrif of Gold Gulch with the

job of cleaning up the town. Gunslingers,

desperadoes and outlaws combine their

evil forces to bring violence to this pion-

eer town. Clean it up or you lose your

badge. However, although you can

shoot to kill when it comes to the

gunslingers etc. mind you don't go

round gunning down innocent people

as this won't do your ratings any good.

The Law of the West is available now

priced i9•95 on cassette and 04.94 on

disk.

STATEMENTS

The ofﬁcial Trivial Pursuit

•

Adventure Line

Also on the adventure scene, but this

time in the post nuclear age, after the

holocaust, Mind Games springs into

action with Time Trax. This game

involves the forces of good versus the

Dark Ones in a battle to the death in

various different ages of man and

before.

Your performance is rated at the end

of each game and you can progress from

Pudding to Demigod a rather amazing

transformation by anybody's standards.

There is now a new adventure from the

All American Adventures fold entitled

Questprobe featuring none other than

the Human Torch and the Thing. Re-

member those characters from the

famous Marvel comics?

It was written by Scott Adams, well

known for his prowess as an adventure

programmer, and it is the third in the

Quest probe series.

The C64 version costs 0.95 on

cassette and 114.95 on disk.

of the Rings Trilogy

It should be in the shops now and the

C64 version is priced ai £9.95.

If you're a fan of Tolkien's novels

then you can now have a ,full set on

computer. The Lord of the Rings has

arrived for the C64 to join the Hobbit. It

is of course from Melbourne House and

in a bumper pack as the amount of

material demands.
