You've done it again. You've left all your mining equipment in the Stella mines on Nesbit. No wonder the rest of the crew of Rotar I are laughing at you and calling you brainache. This time, however, you're determined to show them and not only collect your equipment but also delve deeper into the ancient mineshafts and find the fabled Anatese diamond.

But this isn't going to be very easy as the mine is packed with miner-eating plants, nasty animals and insects and traps to capture the unwary gamer such as a wagon that runs down the mine track and threatens to crush you.

The action takes place against some of the best platform game scenery yet seen on a Spectrum game. The spaceship lands in amongst rolling mountains, stalactites hang down the grooves of the mineshaft and winding paths and giant spiders' webs are also scattered liberally around the caverns.

Unfortunately, there is a price to be paid - our hero is only one character high, a mere smudge against this impressive background. And, as soon as you move him, you realise he is restricted to certain paths. This cramps the gameplay as he moves around a jerkily scrolling screen.

The game itself involves problem-solving and the collection of objects. A standard platform game which shouldn't disappoint its players. Definitely another fun but professional program from Code Masters.
