| Description | Zoffy is an old hand at the CGC. His speciality is knocking out short, crappy, gimmicky little programs with no more than one feeble pun to be found in most of them combined. And, er, very little else at all. So it's no surprise to find that he presents here, yet again, a classic example of the '"Inky $tring Zofftware" style - the old, predictable, grossly over-used, one-trick-pony, no-win formula disguised as a simple tedious guessing game. Replay value is not what it could be. The plot (and slight spoiler)... Sir Clive will ask you what cake he is thinking of. Well, there are hundreds of cakes and surely Sir Clive knows of all of them, and then some! But alas, after having a couple of wild guesses, you will notice that Sir Clive seems to have a peculiar preference for one particular type of cake, and no other type at all. Hmmm, notice a pattern emerging? So guess what happens when you try to catch ol' Sir Clive out and attempt to follow his line of thinking... And, erm, that's it - as frustrating as it gets, due to the high impossibility factor. Sure enough, a quick browse through the pathetic amount of BASIC code (lines 180 and 190 kind of gives it away) reveals that Sir Clive is indeed a total cheating bast! Grrr! Needless to say, the real Sir Clive has not endorsed this game any more than he would endorse a revolting cubed spongey thing plastered in marzipan. Look out for countless more identical sequels presumably coming soon from Zoffy, such as "Sir Clive's Fruit Challenge" and "Sir Clive's Hat Challenge"... I think you get the picture? |

| Description | Clue-hunting police investigation with over 19 locations to visit. |
| Comments | One of the better of this year's entries, Where In The World Is John Darwin ("Can-oe find him?") proves also to be one of the most topical, and also original (alright, maybe not). But it is fun, one of the most vital elements of a crap game. You travel the world investigating the case of canoe enthusiast and alleged international fraudster John Darwin (within the budget of the local police authority). Is he in Rome? Is he in Fucking Austria? Who knows? Only you will find out, as you travel the continents in search of clues. The only thing that stands in your way is time - crack the case before time runs out and you'll bag yourself a promotion and hefty bonus. And a nice tan. If not, your wife will leave you and you're off the case! Cripes! It's topical, it's entertaining - it has one joke (nay, it *is* one joke) and above all, it's crap.
It could've had more gameplay, with additional clues based on the other global locations, and Darwin appearing in other locales, but Zoff couldn't be arsed. We can only admire such laziness in crap game development. |
