To be Frank, Field isn't very good. :)
But then that's hardly surprising since it lurks down the "really bad end" of the Cassette 50 tape, strictly B-side material. It's such a simple listing that anyone could knock up a similar game in a matter of minutes, although you may not manage to design it quite as bizarrely as this one.
You play the part of a hat-wearing broad-shouldered flower thief, bane of the local farmer. The poor farmer has enough problems, what with a stiff-legged guard dog that's lost all ability to follow trespassers, apparently hindered by a tiny piece of crud stuck near its backside. It just runs straight across the field in a seemingly confused state. The woeful collision detection actually allows you to ride the supposedly lethal guard dog's back avoiding capture.
Not only that, the oft-tormented farmer has planted an invisible minefield. You are instructed to avoid this invisible minefield at all costs. Under no circumstances should you walk on the invisible minefield. OK, so I'll try to avoid that completely invisible minefield then. erm, right. Do you know what, the thought occured that I don't think it's worth risking life and limb just to steal a solitary flower.
Anyway it's probably for the best not to attempt to make any sense of this game whatsoever. Just be grateful that you can enter your name into the high-score status line at the top of the screen, a true privilege.
Verdict: Atrocious
