Issue 22 (Sinclair User) 3rd Jan 2010 10:35Extra lives would make a more exciting ride
TWO RECENT releases from Virgin Games are Rider and Angler, both for the 48K Spectrum.
Angler could help confirm the low status of fishing as a spectator sport. In it you are at sea with your trawler, attempting to catch a variety of fish, all gaining different scores according to their type.
The trawler moves left and right and pressing any key casts the fishing line. According to the instructions, the length of time you keep the keys depressed determines the length of the line but, in the reviewer's experience, the line showed an infuriating tendency to stop short of any fish at which it was aimed.
The game features a scoreboard so that you can compete against your friends and a high score earns a certificate of merit. Fairly rudimentary graphics and slow responses, even if you choose an advanced level of difficulty, do not make it wildly exciting.
Rider and Angler are produced by Virgin Games, London and cost £5.50 each.
