Your task is to get to the inner commuter room by collecting keys to each successive room leading to it. Of course, there are obstacles in the way, and many baddies to thwart your attempts. By far the worst was a big bird, presumably an eagle. Not that it hurts you, far from it, but the darnedthing picks you up and carries you back to the start of the screen.

Your only means of ascent are two lifts moving in opposite directions. If you don't get everything just right then you are clobbered and, if that isn't enough, your strength rapidly decreases as you contact various "thingies". Curiously though, when the bird carries you back your strength returns. After two hours I have not yet managed to get to the second level, but I'll manage it next time - I've bought a shot gun. That bird is not going to get the better of me. Although graphics are nothing to write home about, movement is quite smooth, and makes for a playable game.
