Costa Capers is the kind of platform game that will either rivet you to the screen or drive you away jabbering hysterically.

Ted Blewitt sets off on a disastrous holiday to sunny Spain and the first thing that happens is that he loses his luggage and money. But the biggest blow is the loss of his Brownie box camera with 36 holiday snaps on film.

So, Ted has to retrieve all his possessions but the items and characters he encounters may help him - alternatively they may not.

An important element in Ted's jaunt is his alcohol intake, massive consumption of lager is likely to render him incapable of some tasks, but on the other hand it's essential to be semi-plastered for others!

Once an item has been collected it can radically effect items in other locations. Don't, whatever you do, let another character stumble on a collected item as it will be taken out of the game, never to be seen again until a restart!

The changing variables in the game where items can alternate between hostility and usefulness can be extremely frustrating, but of course to the seasoned platformer, this sort of whimsy is a challenge to be relished.
