For any fans of the popular TV show, this may have a special appeal. The central character in our neat little plot is Oz, the well known loudmouth. Our Oz is put into a variety of tricky little situations over in Dusseldorf, and it's up to you to get him out of them!

Firstly, at the building site, Oz is under instructions to build as wide a wall as possible, and if you thought bricklaying was easy, try this! As well as avoiding the watchful Erics and the falling trowels, poor Oz must be careful not to tumble from the wall. The more wall he builds, the more marks he earns for his night at the bier keller.

At the bier keller, Oz must try to drink as many pints as possible before 11.30 (clock provided). The more he drinks, the more fearsome the barmaids become and the more numerous the tables to fall over. If you're not full of pity already, you will be when you find he's got to guide himself home as all the street lights in Dusseldorf flicker and die.

He must remember the route, then try to find his way through a pitch-black maze of lamp-posts and police-cars! Even when he gets to the hut, he has to avoid the security guard! Is it really worth going out? You may well ask.

Take the controls and see for yourself. The keys are easy to operate and you will find the graphics well up to standard. But just allow me a few grumbles, being the fusspot I am!

First, the instructions are a little harsh on the eyes in glaring Mode 2. Mode 1 would be preferable. Second, the game seems to be a little slow-moving in parts - particularly when the lights are going out. Finally, more adventurous sound effects wouldn't come amiss.

All in all, though, a promising game for all ages, with plenty of variety.
