Round the Horn (stylized with a leading apostrophe as 'Round the Horn) is a 1979 video game written by Reverend George Blank and published by The Software Exchange for the TRS-80. Written in BASIC, it was originally a type-in program—and the cover feature—in the January 1979 issue of SoftSide.

Contents

Reception

Joseph Suchar reviewed Round the Horn in The Space Gamer No. 37. Suchar commented that "Round the Horn is a challenging game which is in between all of those economic games and the simplistic arcade games. I highly recommend it."
