Strap in for the rollercoaster ride that is Orwin Software's immense ZX Spectrum softography...

3D Tic-Tac-Toe


Ghost Gobbler


...er, yeah. And I know you shouldn't 'judge a book by its cover', but both these games play exactly as you would suspect from the screenshots.

Do we have a rival to Pacman RX?
Spoiler
NO!
I usually favour arcade over puzzle, but as Pacman clones go, it's pretty clunky and doesn't even manage the proper controls. It is quite sweet that
it acknowledges "it is quite slow" on the opening screen text though.

So Tic-Tac-Toe for me. It's a serviceable rendition.

3D Tic-Tac-Toe is the winner here, with three votes.

Just two votes for the second (and last) placed Ghost Gobbler.

And that's it for ZX Computing #1. I'm now looking in the final edition of Personal Computer Games and have dredged up Microdeal!
