Originally MasterMind is a board game for two players. The first player chooses four coloured pins and the second player tries to guess the colour combination. Gameplay: Except for the computer choosing the colours the game plays exactly the same as the original. It's a great game if you like logic and deductive reasoning. Graphics: The woodgrain background is cheesy but very fitting for a seventies board game. Unlike many other GP32 games the colours Tristan used are easily distinguishable, even on a front-lit unit. Sound: The game doesn't have sound effects but it plays a mod-file in the background. I don't particularly care for the included mod-file, but you can exchange it for one of your own choice. Controls: The reviewed game is not the final version of MasterMind. The final version has an undo-option but in my opinion the controls are too confusing so I decided to stick with playing the old one. The controls in this version are good, the instructions are clear and the in-game functions are logical. Replay value: The colours are chosen at random so the game is always new. You can change the difficulty-level by changing the number of colours or the length of the board so you can adjust it to your level. MasterMind refused to run in GeePee32 so I couldn't make any screenshots. Therefor the woodgrain background in my version is different from the original. I also decided against using the reboot-option in the title screen, which I'm sure you will appreciate ;-) but it's identical in every other way.  |
