Gilbert Factor 4/10

Memory: 16K Price: £4.95 Aimed at the home/education market, Quazar is a collection of four programs for the 16K machine, all in the same format. The idea is that you are presented with a maze and are then given a general knowledge question. From the choice of three answers you must select the correct one then find that number in the maze. Once you have found it you have a limited time to guide a little man to it. If you take too Long a bow and arrow chases you and eventually shoots you, a change from simpLy getting a black mark. For a successful answer you receive a score and another question. Each of the programs contains different questions and each contains enough to avoid continuous repetition. They range from simple Drake is to Duck as Sheep is to... to mathematical problems of the kind where if Mary has six green beans. If the game is too fast for a particular child, instructions are given with the cassette to alter the speed. It is a difficult area to know what would hold a child's attention but this seems to be a reasonable attempt Quazar can be obtained from Rose Cassettes.
