This is another in the Blagger series by Alligata and is just as impressive as its predecessors! The object is to appear in a film. In order to achieve this you must first reach the producer's (a character named Spielbum!) office.

Attempting to stop you in this are a number of well-known film characters such as James Bond, Superman, Batman and the Hulk! These may be knocked out by picking up certain props and throwing them at the appropriate character. There is no indication which prop will take out which character although they are connected in some way - for instance Batman is taken out by a 'P-O-W'. Another way to identify which prop to use is that as you enter a character's section the game music changes to a theme from a film - identify the theme and you have the character. Once the characters have all been taken you are allowed into Speilburn's office where you have to do it all over again!

The graphics of the game are very like Zaxxon with a 3D, four way smooth scrolling display. The sound, as I mentioned consists of quite a few tunes and is thus very good, especially the Jaws Theme.

The game is very difficult at first as each time the characters touch you, you lose a life and you only have five lives. Control is by joystick and I didn't like this much as Blagger tended to get stuck trying to go through doors and it always happens at the most crucial moment!

The game also features walls that grow and shrink to hinder you, telephone boxes which appear if you spend too long anywhere and also the Tardis which appears to finish you off.

An excellent game and one for every C64 owner!
