Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Ken Colyer

Somewhere over the Rainbow

Advantages: Stunning, mountainous scenery
Disadvantages: None

The Rainbow Rage is not the way I went over the Rainbow. But for thousands of bikers it is an annual 100km race from St Arnaud, on the Nelson side of the Rainbow Valley, through this most fantastic part of the South Island of New Zealand to Hanmer, and a waiting hot pool plunge. For me, I went over from the Hanmer end, after doing the Molesworth High Country Station trip in the comfort of our 4X4. We saw several mountain bikers along the way and I know which way I prefer to take in this pristine sub alpine beauty. The trip has some high saddle passes where you can see high country farming, lakeside wonder, huge, craggy mountains and a gate or two to open along the way. Site seeing and photography come together and I used up so much film. This is beech clad forest and huge, gravel scree shots we are talking. I haven ...

Review of Rainbow

Somewhere over the Stag and Rainbow

Advantages: nice food, not too expensive
Disadvantages: gets slow when it's busy

I don?t often go out for meals, especially with being a fussy eater, so when I do I like to go somewhere that does a variety of food, nothing too spicy or strange. At the beginning of October, Mike took me to the Stag and Rainbow for a meal. He chose this one because other pub restaurants are integrated with the pub and drinkers and diners are mixed. Luckily, the restaurant section at the Stag and Rainbow is completely separate and treated as thus. Upon arriving, we were asked if we wanted smoking or non-smoking. The smoking section is mainly near to the toilets and the non-smoking is nearer to the entrance. We chose non-smoking and despite not reserving and it being a Friday night we were seated immediately at a 2 seat table.

Review of Beefeater Stag & Rainbow

Somewhere Over The Rainbow....

Advantages: good platform game
Disadvantages: colours are a bit bright

= If you lose all of your lives, you will get ten seconds to chose if you want to continue or not. After the beginning of the sixth level you cannot continue anymore. =Graphics= These are really good for the time. The characters all move smoothly and the rainbows flow evenly. The colours can get a bit bright, but that's easily solved with the remote control! =Sounds/Music= You probably guessed, but Somewhere Over The Rainbow is the music that goes with this. It is very annoying so hitting the "M" key gets rid of it nicely. The sounds aren't very extensive and aren't too irritating. =Game Play= I got hooked on this game. It can be completed, but you will probably play it a few times and work out a pattern on how to do it best. As with most Amiga games, this game is controlled by a joystick ...
