Reception
Your Spectrum wrote "The games aren't that bad as do-it-yourself games but, they won't provide that much fun."[1] Sinclair User said it contained "five of the most uninspired games ever to disgrace the Spectrum"[2]. In a 2011 retrospective on the compilation, Television presenter and gaming journalist Larry Bundy Jr admitted he had to showcase the game as a retrospective rather than a review because: "you can’t exactly review or give the ol’ “angry reviewer” treatment to a game that openly admits that it’s supposed to be rubbish can you?"[3]
