Trying to remember a game
Hi All,
Firstly, there was more than one game on this tape, but I'm not sure if that's because it was a compilation, or just that the person I'd acquired the tape off, had put them onto one tape -- so not off to a great start.
I'm only really after the first game, but mention the others in case it clicks for some compilation.
There was one game, which you were a fella in a (kind of) maze. You could move to new screens by doors which were above, below, left and right of the screen. You could throw discs to attack people (or they might have been things!). The closest game I can think of is Smash TV (but a really, really basic kind of version).
Another game was where you could design and build (if I recall correctly) Viking type ships, and sail them around and attack other ships.
And finally, another was a Space Trading kind of game, and the first screen was some kind of (quite good looking, full colour) menu at a spaceport -- unfortunately, I can't remember the options, nor what the graphic was on the right hand side of the screen.
I think there may even have been a chess game on the tape, but I remember thinking it was fairly rubbish (but it did speak its name).
Any tips appreciated!
Cheers,
Jon.

I mean, it may not be vikings, but I'm pretty sure there were small boats and "long" boats available for building, hence why I'm thinking vikings.
[Futher more, my description was terrible!]

Although sadly, I only ever got that specific tape with the Speccy, so going to have to check out the others (after I've played these anyway!).
Thanks to anyone who had a look.
Cheers,
Jon.
