1986 - Mastertronic Added Dimension.
by Jeff Calder

Another gambling game, very similar to 'Derby Day' the first game of the genre.

Mostly written in BASIC, this game is basically a graphic update with a few new features of the game cited above.

If it had been written in machine code it would have turned into a very popular game within the horse gaming genre.

Still worth playing if you like Speccy oldies.

Boring, slow, dated even for 1986 standards and as much fun as sweeping horse manure.

This is one of those games that starts out great and then gets boring quickly. It's definitely an advanced program especially for a BASIC game, like when no two races are the same and nothing is random for instance. It's very clever, it's too bad there isn't a lot of enjoyment in it in the long run. Also it's worth playing this with Currah Microspeech to remind us of how awful it was.

Always did like this game. It isn’t to everyone’s liking, it can be dull to play, but I always found some joy with this one.
