| Description | A solitaire puzzle. The answer to the first question is one of O, Y, G and B. The board contains coloured pegs surrounded by a coloured circle. The idea is to move the pegs so that in the final position the pegs and circles match. Each move consists of taking the top peg of one column and moving it to the top of another column. Note: do not start this game with BRIGHT 1 turned on or it won't work. |

| Description | A game for two players. A move consists of emptying a numbered receptacle and distributing the seeds. If the last seed lands in a receptacle on the opposing side containing one or two seeds then you capture them. You then also capture the adjacent ones if they contain two or three. There may be some special case rules at the end of the game which I can't remember. |

In fact, it's so complex that EVEN THE AUTHOR DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY IT PROPERLY!!!! I'm giving up now while I've still got my SANITY! |

| Description | An amazing emulation of an old electronic game, but without the annoying battery consumption! Play the game of breakout by simply pressing a key when the ball reaches the bat in order to fire it off! The time at which you press the key determines the angle at which the ball bounces back - pressing it earlier makes it go more to the left! But watch out - press it too late and the ball is OUT! Infinitely addictive! |

| Description | A fantastically fun text-based hunting extravaganza! And then some! Name any square and it will reveal a letter. You can use this letter to cross off one of the letters in the animals listed below by pressing the animal number. Occasionally it will give you a star instead of a letter. This is a penalty. When you have revealed all four of the stars your time is up and your score is the number of animals you "bagged". You bag an animal by crossing off all its letters. |

| Description | Another fantasic MACHINE CODE game converted over from the ZX81! You are the "+" in the lower right-hand corner. Your job is to get home to the "H" at the top of the maze. But there is also a bug, represented by a "*", and if it gets there before you then you have lost. You also lose if the bug catches you. If you find yourself trapped with no escape then it can help to drive straight at it because the program gives you a 50% chance of re-starting the level if you show such boldness. Use keys V, B, P and L to move, and press CAPS SHIFT to start each maze! |

| Description | A fantastically addictive game based on that old chestnut you used to find on calculator watches (back when digital watches were still "cool")! As the numbers appear on the left-hand side use any key from H to ENTER to set the number on the right, then press any key A to G to eliminate any matching numbers! The better you get, the faster it goes! Beware, if the row fills up with numbers then you're dead - and you only get three lives! |

| Description | Do dull things with chemicals, like heat them and stuff like that then try to guess what they are. |
| Comments | Alistair: Being a chemist I feelk that Ian was trying to stir up soem support from me, but little does he know that this is not the type of chemistry I like. Crap but just because so is most chemistry. Graham: This game sent me into a hypnotic state of boredom, and as such has a valuable future in the field of hypnotherapy, and is therefor anything but crap. However, should it ever be harnessed by Paul McKenna in the making of one of his dreadful TV shows, then it may be re-assessed. |
