A CZAR IS BORN MAKER: Finsbury FORMAT: cassette PRICE: £5.95 In a galaxy, far, far away, the Zogian Empire host an annual contest for the curios, undulating (and not entirely intelligent) inhabitants of the Gzar start system. The prize is the Andromeda Trophy! Now, to be honest, this isn't a particularly exciting event (or prize come to that). The entire population of Zog would be hard pressed to raise more than 2K between them and some of denizens from the more impoverished sectors of the outer planets are even thicker, consequently the challenge level is painfully undernourished and (predictably) it's written in BASIC. Visiting Earthlets are advised to take the 'This will strain your mental powers to the limit!' claim with more than a pinch of salt. I mean, I went through the entire thing (which includes a couple of simple mazes and a Simon-touch-me-in-sequence routine) in less than fifteen minutes. Three-year-old will doubtless do it quicker. All in all, unlikely to test the mental prowess of the average house brick.
