Plan 9 from Outer Space Type: Interactive graphics Runs on: Amiga PC Normality Tinderbox Type: Bitmap graphics Written 1985 by Colin C. Chadburn in Basic. Runs on: Spectrum [48K] Comments: Gremlin Graphics is not a company noted for its adventures. "Tinderbox" is a fairy tale, in which youplay the part of Tom, a common foot-soldier, who has to defeat the wicked witch and evil king to gain the hand of the fair Rowella. As an adventure, it's a disgrace. It is written entirely in Basic, and contains large numbers of boring locations where little or nothing happens. The computer does not understand even a simple, standard adventure command such as Look. As Tom happily wades through a lake without so much as getting his feet wet, he may well ponder his bad luck in not signing up as a mercenary with Pete Austin or Brian Howarth. The B side of the cassette contains a long fairy story printed up screen by screen. It is the story of Tom, the common foot, and you've guessed the rest already. All profits go to the Soft-Aid appeal for Ethiopia. It's very fine of Gremlin Graphics to do that, but they might have chosen a halfway decent program to flog for charity. If you care about Ethiopia - and you should - then send a fiver to Bob Geldof. There's no point bothering with "Tinderbox" - it lights nobody's fire.
