Generally, it's true that games converted for another computer are never as good as the original. Many are just quick conversions which get the program just running on the new computer without giving any thought to fully using the capabilities of the new computer. Thankfully, in this case, it is not true. A&F has produced an excellent, at least as good variant, of its Spectrum arcade game.

You must rescue the dozen eggs around the screen climbing up and down ladders, jumping gaps and hitching rides on the lifts. This must all be done while keeping clear of the hens and watching your time. If you take too long, the duck will be let out of the cage and your hopes of success ruined.

I managed six full screens of action, all different in layout through the principle remains the same. The seventh seems well nigh impossible.

Despite the lack of variety, the game features quality graphics, multi-player options and you can re-define the keys. Altogether, a most enjoyable game.
