Minigames within games

The Colditz Story

[clebin]

Zub is notable as its minigame, Lightfarce, was released independently on an SU covertape (as Zarjas). Is that the only example of that on the Spectrum?

If my memory serves me right, Tau Ceti had a mini-game involving reactor rods or summat.

I don't consider Lightfarce as a mini-game within the game, since it's not part of the gameplay from the main game. IMHO it's more appropriate to consider it a hidden independent "bonus" game.

Lightfarce is very impressive for a day's work. However it doesn't work as a parody of Lightforce. The main reason Lightforce looks impressive is because they managed to create such a colorful shoot-em-up that still managed to play great. However Lightfarce was monochrome!

Lightforce ... still managed to play great.
