SINCLAIR USER November 1985
===========================


HUNT THE HURKLE
---------------
The Hurkle is a mythical beast from the dawn of computer games. He inhabits a
grid, and you must input co-ordinates to flush him out. Richard Harthill of
Tarporley, Cheshire has written a version for the 48K Spectrum or Spectrum
Plus which includes 10 versions of the game, depending on what sort of clues
you get when you miss.
Apart from being lots of fun to play, it's also an ideal way to accustom a
child to concepts such as vectors, bearings and directions. Real brains will
find  the versions where the Hurkle actually moves about his grid much more
challenging.

tantrums. You play one of Santa's dwarves in this whimsical text adventure by
Timothy Sneath of Godmanchester, Cambridge. What is the secret of the awful
supermarket? Where can you use the umbrella?
Jennifer's Dolly was written for the 48K Spectrum or Spectrum Plus, and
accepts the usual two-word commands so beloved of veteran adventurers.
