Man the intro took forever in this one! My patience has already worn out this isn't a good start! Well it's Boggle, a word game I actually know little about apart from it's a board game and I saw one in a charity shop, Barnardo's I think, before lockdown, kind of wish I bought it now, then again I know little about it so that would have been foolish of me. Anyway you are given a bunch of letters and you have to create words using the letters on the board much like finding words on a wordsearch puzzle. The bigger the word the more points you earn but crucially you only score points for words your opponent doesn't find. And how does this game actually play? By writing down the words within the time limit, yes it's a Spectrum program that does absolutely bloody nothing and all the work is done by pen and paper and the game simply acts as a guide. This might be the closest thing to saying we can't be bothered converting this as you can get. Absolutely bloody astounding. That's like doing a Monopoly game without the board and the program only rolls the dice and you have to do everything else yourself. I wish I bought that board game from Barnardo's now, no wait no I don't.
