Total Recall DUD
OF THE MONTH COLLECTION! TIME BALL
(Hudson Soft, Fall 1990)
If you are desperate for a puzzle game on your Turbo then you may want to try
Time Ball here even though I don't think you'll like what you'll find. In this

crack. Is your blood boiling yet? The game play is very similar to the classic
game Pipe Dreams but unlike that fun title in Timeball you are forced
to slide around one annoying panel at a time and this gets incredibly frustrating
especially when the clock is constantly ticking on you. The graphics are very limited,
the 2 different music tracks stink, and controls flat out suck and unless you study each puzzle carefully you're going to see the Game Over screen constantly. Timeball may appeal to some
...... ah, who am I kidding nobody will like this awkward junk here!
