Captain Sticky's Gold has a profoundly silly scenario: 'As Captain Sticky's new crew member you are responsible for the maintenance of his diving suit. The Captain's supply of gum has dwindled and now he must replenish his supply of stickies (gum, that is!)'.

Well, yes. But don't let it put you off too much, because it's really quite a good little game.

From a ship floating on the deep blue briny you are lowered to the sea bed in order to collect the gold bars which pop out of three holes. You must then take them back to the ship so that Captain S can indulge his gum habit.

Naturally, there are problems. The sea is full of fish which you have to avoid or harpoon. Nastier is the Air Leech which squiggles around and sucks your vital air supply. On higher levels there are monster crabs, missiles and force-fields.

Sound is jauntily nautical and the graphics are amusing. Despite the silliness, it's fun to play.
