A humorous game dedicated to "the man who put us all into business", this has you guiding the Head of Sinclair around several screens of objects to collect and people to avoid. An unusual combination of platform and maze games and all in a 3D perspective.

The graphics look sparse in comparison to some games on the market, but after a few plays I came to appreciate the uncluttered display - simple in concept it may be, but simple to play it is not. A nice sense of humour runs throughout, and I even found the insert notes funny.

The object of the game is to get Clive to Buck House to be invested as Dame Commander of the British Empire. You start in his house in bed and have to get clothes and a key to get out, avoiding the animated TV, Spectrum, cat [So far it's just like home - Ed] and the bug in the attic. Objects bounce off each other and just as you think you've got it sussed they collide and come back unexpectedly - exit one of your five lives. Scoring is simply calculated by the time in which you complete each screen and the top score is kept and displayed.

I liked it but found it frustrating as it looked so easy, probably Underwurlde experts may find it rather easy, but for most of us the difficulty is just right, making you want just one more go.
