ORTHIUS
-------
GUIDE ORTHIUS through the deadly caverns to escape from the hordes of rats,
rabbits and spiders which infest the underground warrens. An extremely tough
maze game, Orthius was written by C Murray of Redditch, and runs on any
Spectrum.

OVERLOAD
--------
ITS NOT OFTEN you come across a genuinely new stategy game, but Overload by
Jason Butler of Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, is one such.
In this two-player game, each player places counters On the board. When four
counters of the same colour are piled together, they explode, scattering to
surrounding squares. When the board gets full, chain reactions are set off as
more and more squares overload in succession, like an abstract nuclear
reaction. The game runs on the 48K Spectrum.
