Producer: Scorpio Gamesworld Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £1.99 Language: Machine code Author: Barry Jones These days everybody seems to be having a go at poor old Sir Clive and his dreaded C5, C5 Clive is the Scorpio contribution. The game puts you in the driving seat well the only seat in fact. The object of the game is to get your newly acquired C5, just purchased from a rather slick salesman, from the garage to your home. The game comes in two parts. After picking up your new Sinclair easy rider you must get home. You and your machine are shown traversing across the screens from left to right but in your path there are obstacles like ghosts, cats, walls, trees and runaway prams. The player controls his C5 by moving it up and down the screen, it can be made to go faster but it will always be moving forward. The first stage of the game requires the player to pick up batteries from each of the screens. Doing so and avoiding the obstacles will get you onto the next screen, and so on until the end of the first stage. The second stage involves driving through the city streets in rush hour. For this stage your route is dictated by the street layout and you can exit from any part of the screen if an exit exists. The second stage is harder by virtue of the extra traffic. How far you have to travel depends on the skill level selected at the start of the game. If you purport to be an advanced C5 driver your will find the second stage journey is over 60 screens equivalent to 60 miles.
