The Secret of Little Hodcome
1987
The Secret Of Little Hodcome is a text adventure from Zenobi Software with mild horror elements. Once upon a time the player had a distant, and forgotten relative. That relative is no more meaning that the player has inherited a cottage in the tiny hamlet of Little Hodcome. After a bit of not-too-productive research, 'Where is this place?', off you trot to meet the estate agent. Naturally, this being an adventure, all is not well in the English countryside and the object of the game is to uncover and vanquish whatever evil force lurks there.Super Discus

The player controls a robot with a bat attempting to hit a ball at a circular target on the opposing wall. Alternatively the player may try to kill his opponent by hitting him with the ball or bat. The computer-controlled opposing player is trying to do the same. As the game progresses more balls are brought into play, up to a limit of four. A round is won when one player scores three goals or kills his opponent. There are 26 levels of varying difficulty. Later levels feature movable barriers and various other obstacles to complicate play.
