But absolutely nothing happened!\r\n\r\nI just knew that somehow Super Gran could use that pole to vault up into the window, but how? I was just about to call it a day when I found VAULT POLE worked, and there I was standing inside Scunner Campbell's bedroom.\r\n\r\nDespite the starting difficulties, all was not lost, for at this point the adventure started to show its true class. As the plot unfolds, it places one puzzle after another in your path. Finding the right answer may mean a lot of running about, and getting your timing just right.\r\n\r\nThe puzzles are of an easy level, and best suited to young adventurers or perhaps those looking for a small fun adventure to help while away a few hours. After a shaky start, I found it very enjoyable to play, even though it does not contain the type of puzzles that take months to solve.\r\n\r\nThe graphics are of the same high standard at those seen in Gremlins, and the text input allows for more than one command to be entered on one line. The whole thing is rounded off with a light hearted sense of humour.\r\n\r\nSuper Gran - The Adventure is available for the Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad, with full colour graphics and animation, and in text only for the BBC, Electron, and Commodore 16.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"80","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[{"Name":"Paul Coppins","Score":"7","ScoreSuffix":"/10"}],"ScreenshotText":[],"BlurbText":[],"TranscriptBy":"Chris Bourne","ReviewScores":[{"Header":"Personal Rating","Score":"7/10","Text":""}],"CompilationReviewScores":[]}]}]
