So here we go again. Q-Best does a quick change act. Master of disguise, he assaults us from the games shelves as any number of characters.

In this particular variety he wears his rabbit cozzy and calls himself Harvey. (All due respects to Jimmy Stewart.)

Micro Power, masters of the multi-coloured moving screen, never fail to live up to their reputation as quality games writers and this one is particularly nice. Young Harvey, so they tell us, is on a quest for the Elixir of Life (as supplied by your friendly neighbourhood Leprechaun). Of course, something as valuable as The Elixir requires a little more than money and Harvey is given a task to complete. Paint a pyramid?

Well, nearly right. In fact, it's the Giant's Causeway and Harvey approaches the task with considerable style. The bouncing ball is there, natch, but the snake has gone and we're left with a fox who leaves grubby footprints all over the nice shiny paintwork. The only way to get rid of him is to lure him over the edge of the causeway.

This is a good game. If you like Q-Best then you'll like Block Buster which is well up to Micro Power's usual standards.
