Vatman is a side-scrolling beat-em-up that was given away free with Your Sinclair Issue 46, on their covertape "Smash Tape No. 22"
Your goal is to travel through the level as mild-mannered Eric Jone's alter-ego Vatman, punching tax-swindling bad guys and avoiding hitting nice old ladies, until you get to the boss at the end of the level. Power ups are available to regain health lost by getting hit by enemies.
In order to succeed in making your team league and cup champions you must answer questions. You can't select your team but you can train them instead by answering questions. If you get the question correct then they improve, answer wrong and they get worse. To play a game against a team you have to answer questions as well. If they're attacking, get the question right and it's saved. Get it wrong and they score. Likewise if you are attacking, right means you score, wrong and it's saved.
A text adventure written by Linda Wright.
The player takes the role of someone who has just become the proud owner of a country cottage. It's not been live in for ages, because the previous owner disappeared - vanished without a trace, so it's in a bit of a state. Your own furniture isn't due to arrive for a while so you take a camp bed and set off to Bluebell Cottage to take stock and make a start on the cleaning. Luckily you also bought some furniture with the house so the place isn't that empty.
The cottage isn't the only thing you bought, along with the house comes some grounds containing a small lake and a derelict mill which is the 'folly referred to in the title.
As an undercover agent of Chase Headquarters, your job is to patrol the streets and track down five criminals. You are given a mission briefing before you start which gives information on the suspect and what car they drive. Then you drive across the city without crashing into other cars, and catch up with the criminal's car. To arrest the suspects, you must keep bumping into their car until it is no longer functional. And you have to do this under a strict time limit. You can't afford to crash into cars or buildings or you waste time getting on the road again.
