Producer: C.C.S. Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £2.99 Language: BASIC Another from the C.C.S. Charlie Charlie Sugar budget range. Basically a memory testing game. Matching pairs offers one or two players a grid of 24 squares arranged as a six by four board. In these squares 12 different colours will appear, randomly scattered, each colour repeated. The object is to look closely at the very short 'preview'of the colours and then match up all the squares of matching colours. After the 'preview' the colours vanish to be replaced by numbers. The player is asked to select a number and the colour of that square appears briefly. You must then enter the number of the square which is also the same colour. There are five levels of patterns to be matched, each more complex than the last. The players' scores are calculated by pairs matched against the number of tries taken, but too low a score will prevent you entering the next level. C.C.S. say this game is a variation on the well known old favourite, Pelmanism. Never heard of it? Never mind. COMMENTS Control keys: numeric input and ENTER Joystick: unnecessary Keyboard play: reasonable Use of colour: quite nice variations Graphics: extremely basic Sound: reasonable tune, entry beeps Skill levels: 5 Features: 2-player game
