Our original Repton game was immediately acclaimed as a refreshingly new concept:a game requiring dexterity to complete its arcade-style elements, and clear logical thinking to solve Its strategic puzzles. Repton involves retrieving treasure from cleverly-constructed traps of falling rocks whilst avoiding the fearsome monsters and haunting spirits. "This is an astounding game reaching new heights in BBC arcade adventures," enthused the Micro User magazine. Last Christmas saw the release of Repton 2, larger and much more challenging than before_ Acorn User's Technical Editor Bruce Smith wrote: "Repton 2 is better than anything I've played on the BBC Micro or Electron. Brillianti" Now, completely rewritten and improved for the Commodore, Arrstrad, BBC Micro and Electron, we proudly present Repton 3. For the first time, a screen-designer is included! try to devise screens that will perplex your friends. then see if you can solve their newly-designed screens. Another innovation is the character-designer which enables you to design your own monsters. rock& eggs, spirits, diamonds any or all of the game's characters can be redefined as you wish. Repton 3 is much larger than its predecessors — it has 24 fascinating screens, and players who are skilful enough to complete them all can enter our prize competition described below. All the favourite Repton characters have been retained, together with several new features: a creeping poisonous fungus which grows at an alarming rate; time bombs and time capsules (for puzzles in the 4th dimension); and golden crowns as well-deserved rewards for your endeavours. Con YOU complete Repton 3? PRIZE COMPETITION If you complete Repton 3, you can enter our competition. Prizes include over E200 in cash, with T-shirts, mugs, badges and pens for runners-up.
