SIR NATHANIEL'S SAVING GAME
This computerised version of Sir Nathaniel's Saving Game is for four
players - of which the player chooses one. it is identical to the card
game of the same name, produced by the Natwest bank, unavailable since
1986.
For a number of years, the Natwest bank ran a very novel type of
childrens' bank account called Natwest 'Piggy bank' and gave away five
pot piggy banks at six month intervals to the account holder. Each
piggy had its own name and its own character.
On opening a 'Piggy bank' account with a small deposit, the holder
received Woody - the baby of the piggy family - completely free. To
get the next piggy, the holder had to add further deposits to give a
balance of at least `25 within six months.
The aim of the account was to encourage children to save by rewarding
them with a new piggy every six months providing they saved another
`25 and the five Natwest piggies were Woody, Annabel (`25), Maxwell
(`50), Lady Hilary (`75) and Sir Nathaniel (`100); the head of the
piggy family. When all the piggies were collected - generally after
two years - the holder became a member of 'Sir Nathaniel's 100 Club'.
This club offered very reasonably-priced piggy merchandise.
The card game of Sir Nathaniel's Saving Game was an example of this
merchandise. It was a pack of 55 glossy, colourful cards and could be
played by up to four people and it attempted to immitate the saving of
money to complete the piggy family. As with the bank account, each
player began the game with Woody and had to gain the other four
piggies. The winner of the game was the first player who collected Sir
Nathaniel and, hence, the whole piggy family.
Of the 55 cards, there were 4 Woody cards, 4 Annabel cards, 4 Maxwell
cards, 4 Lady Hilary cards and 1 Sir Nathaniel card which were removed
from the pack and set to one side. The remaining cards were 10 `5s, 9
`10s, 8 `20s, 3 `50s and 8 cards of lesiure objects - roller skates,
computer, radio/cassette player, etc. All these cards were shuffled
and each player took a card in turn.
If the card was a money card, it was placed upwards before the player.
If the card was an object, it was returned to the pack with any money
card(s) the played had.
A player could claim the next piggy as soon as their money cards
totalled the amount required for that piggy - as with the account,
this was `25 for Annabel to `100 for Sir Nathaniel. The difference
between the game and the account was that the new piggy card was
swapped for all the money cards before the player. The player then had
to begin to save for the next piggy with no money cards.
Although there are differences dealing, shuffling and replacing cards
due to the way the computer program is written, this implementation
remains faithful to the card game in all the ways described above. An
array shuffles and holds the different cards and works through them
one by one and each player receives either money or an object which
wipes out their savings. A money card is added to the total money the
player has.
The only added touch is a message of "No Money" - which results when
the player had no money and is 'dealt' an object. (In the card game,
the object was merely replaced at the bottom of the pack.) The
graphics of the piggies and the objects are identical to the card
images. To present the computer game in a more attractive fashion, the
objects have become icons highlighted on-screen when received by a
player.
On starting a new computer game of Sir Nathaniel's Saving Game, you
will be prompted "PLAY AS PLAYER 1/2/3/4 :". As the cards are shuffled
ramdomly, the winner of the next game cannot be predicted*. After
choosing which player to be, the player then competes against the
other three to be the first to collect the piggy family. As soon as a
player does this, the player is either congratulated or commisserated
depending on whether the winner was a real or virtual player. A new
game of Sir Nathaniel's Saving Game then begins.
On pressing ESCAPE, Sir Nathaniel reports on the number of games
played and the number of games the real player won. On the BBC MASTER
version, ESCAPE can be pressed at any time. On the ELECTRON, due to
complications in programming, ESCAPE cannot be pressed when the "PLAY
AS..." prompt is displayed.
Sir Nathaniel's Saving Game is a disk-only game and packs a lot into
the memory of the machine so it is adviseable to disconnect any
unnecessary peripherals before loading it. It uses a Mode 4 screen and
very high-quality graphics to give a very professional finish. It may
not be as good as Sunday but I hope it will help pass away a few
mintes of all respectable BBC/ELK owners' time.
