Producer: Mogul Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £5.50 Language: BASIC Author: Mark Larner When we first saw the advertisement which mentioned Crash, we were quite excited thinking that someone had named a game after us! Expectations that it would be a good game were soon dashed however. Mogul may be better known for their Commodore software, and one hopes so, because these few games they have for the Spectrum are simply not up to scratch, let alone Crash. Crash is a primitive driving game in which you guide a car around the screen, which is crowded with green lumps of cargo for which you get points. blue petrol pumps which keep you going longer, purple mechanics who you're supposed to avoid, and red houses that can be fatal if hit. The object is to clear the screen of all the cargo. Depending on the skill level selected, you may run over a few mechanics without losing your life, but too many will result in their taking action against you for dangerous driving. On higher levels of play, a single mechanic may prove fatal. It might all have been interesting if it had been worth it in the first place.
