Auto Chef, 23 Sep 2010 (Rating: 2)

This looks to be an early game, possibly based on a zx81 game and written in basic. You are running a company that appears to rent out a roadside eatery of either fastfood, cafe or a restaurant based ona market research report.

First you have to
1. bid on a franchise
2. set the cost of the food
3. decide if you want to accept a loan
4. amount to spend on advertising
5. decide to pay off the staff with a 5% pay rise.
finally how much of a dividend to pay.

Pretty poor basic program that ends after 4 turns or if you make a typo..ends at a basic listing.

Seems to have come from the same programmer as the CSS game AutoChef

Follows the same format of running the airline, which is gets dull quickly.

Looks ( and is ) a basic program.

2 out of 5

You command the german army group centre as it storms east towards the city of stalingrad.

The game is turn based and you decide on what units to supply and orders for the each army before the combat phase. and then the Russians do the same.

Polished and very well thoughtout.

I remember that this was one of the last games that i got for my spectrum, came in a video sized box with a nice glossy manual.

Only niggle is that it does seem to crash emulators at odd moments, the origanal never crashed - and i played it for hours!!

This is a pretty simple game, not much options apart from talk the union or push the car price up or down.

Its crude..no graphics but oddly addictive!
