Captain Sticky loves chewing gum. Trouble is, it costs money. That's where you come in - or should I say, go under.

The Captain finances his supply of gum by stealing gold from a seabed mine. As his latest crew member you will joystick yourself down to the mine and send the gold back topside automatically, by attaching a ship's hawser to the find. You make your own way back to the ship for a refill of air.

No, it isn't as easy as that. There is a limited air supply. Harmful sea-creatures lurk in the depths. A helicopter occasionally flies overhead dropping depth charges. There are even seabed missile launchers to cater for. Your harpoon gun will be found useful, although I found it a bit slow on the draw.

The graphics in Captain Sticky are very good indeed. Such is the detail, the sky darkens when clouds obscure the sun above the sea. There are five lives available for the one or two players, and many skill levels to choose from.

If arcade games are your forte you will enjoy Captin Sticky. If not, you could find the game soon becomes repetitive. Needs joystick.
