Nightmare Park
ZX81 version
Superficial puzzle
The Good
The game throws you into a maze where each square you move through has a chance to be a puzzle you need to solve. Pick the number between 10 and 30, guess a roll of the dice, remember a sequence of letters or do some simple addition in your head, but with a timer. Kill the zombies closing in on you by tapping keys 1 to 8 and hope you got the right combo. IF you die, its restart.
It's kind of entertaining until about the 15th death.
The Bad
This game seems to have been an apprentice job for someone who don't really know games but made a labyrinth. Each game is randomized, but the randomness is cruel, and the level is preconfigured so even if you make it to the last square before the exit, you'll die to a hail of poison arrows. Or fireballs.
The Bottom Line
A bad game which has shallow engangement for the player, and is very unfair in it's sudden death mechanic.
