STRAITS OF HORMUZ
Personally, I don’t usually enjoy game programs other than to take them apart to find programming tips. This game program falls into the thinking type category, rather than the skill type program. Straits Of Hormuz is very interesting and challenging, and as the instructions state…frustrating.
The object is to find and box-in as many mines as you can. As you move across the straits you will hear beeps in each column that there are mines. You will also hear beeps as you go up the straits. Several beeps in each row or column indicates that there are several mines. Once you have boxed in the mines, you exit [illegible]he straits and enter a more diff[illegible]cult area. Torpedoes will be fired across the straits, with more torpedoes in the higher levels. The torpedoes may destroy you or your boxes which you will have to build.
I could not get very far. In fact, the creator of the program informed me that level five is as far as he has made it. If you like thinking type games, then this one is for you.
EXECUTIVE CLUE
This program is for those of you that have played the board game, and enjoyed it. Executive Clue plays like the board game, in that you are given a list of the potential murderers, a list of the murder weapons, and a picture of the rooms of the house where the murder took place. You have to remember the names of the weapons and the names of the potential murderers. By guessing and [illegible]valuating, you try to arrive at: who did it, where, and with what? This is a stimulating and enjoyable program.
