The Trader Trilogy, from Quicksilva, could be loosely termed a graphics adventure. In the set of three games you are in charge of a spaceship which roams the galaxy in search of adventure. You are a trader and in your planet-hopping experiences you meet many types of alien creature. The monsters include a fluff-ball which survives on your brainwaves, a whole population 'high' on a drug with effects like Mescalin, and robots giving way to rust.

On the first run of the adventure, which has to be played in a sequential format, the graphics and plot are entertaining and you will keep playing until you are killed or find sufficient supplies to make a profit. On the second and succeeding runs you will become less pleased with the game.

The Trader Trilogy may be of some interest to children but even they, if they are discriminating, will grow tired of always answering the same mathematical problems to find cargo. The trilogy is the least promising of Quicksilva games for any machine and deserves to be zapped into space.
