Reviews for Target (#5148)

Review by Alessandro Grussu on 26 Jan 2012 (Rating: 4)

A game by Don Priestley which does not feature large sprites and abundance of colors? Yes there is - and it happens to be his last game for the Spectrum.

You must guide a ball bouncing inside a squarely-shaped well seen from above and hit some targets which appear on the bottom. Unfortunately that's all I could understand from playing the game because there are no instructions available for it and I do not know what you are supposed to do in order, say, to advance to another level or to perform other tasks.

The ball goes around convincingly and there is a great deal of patience required in controlling it, since it's very sensitive to the keys or joystick movement, therefore allowing a finely tuned action.

A strange, quirky, unusual and yet to be fully discovered little gem from a master of Spectrum game programming.
