QL SOFT Damian Clay take a look at more new games for the QL. STEVE DAVIS SNOOKER CDS £14.95 This game is a computer simulation of the game of snooker where you can play either the computer, another opponent, or the computer can play itself. The graphics are excellent and they make it look very much like a real table. Use of colour is also very good and compliment the graphics, however black is represented by a green with a pink centre and the brown by a green with a red centre. Sound is fairly well used and sounds quite good. Making a backup is easy if you know a little about copying from one microdrive to another or disk, because unfortunately there is no backup program on the cartridge which could cause problems. There is no high score routine as such but there is a high break table which is a fairly good idea. Playing is quite simple with very good onscreen prompts and easy to understand instructions. The only really hard parts are selecting your spin and your power, but when you get used to it it becomes more easy to judge. Overall it is an excellent game and is worth every penny, well written and is well worth adding to your collection.
