Producer: Pulsonic Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £2.99 Language: BASIC Opposition is a board game that may be played between two people or one against the computer. It is one of those sort of games at which computers tend to excel. The screen is divided into a board of 40 squares, five high and eight long. Each vertical base is a 'goal' line and vice versa. Each corner square is a 'goal post', so the defensible area is only three squares. Each player takes a turn consisting of a one-square move diagonally or up and down by entering the co-ordinates N, NE, S, SW, etc. You may not move on to an adjacent square to one already occupied by your opponent. As it says in the instructions, if attacking, the computer always wins. But you do have a chance to beat if if you are attacking. The second game is played out on a larger board of 70 squares with seven of them occupied by obstacles. Played in the same way the Spectrum, however, defends and only on the back two files. With this game it is possible to type in CHEAT and the Spectrum will make a silly move - you don't get your score if you cheat though. Game three is the same with more obstacles.
