Platform games like on - quite why nobody seems to know. Still, Costa Capers is brought to you by the team who produced last year's platform hit, Technician Ted, Steve Marsden and David Cooke.

It follows the fortunes of Ted - who this time is trying to get away for his annual fortnight in the sun.

In order to enjoy his holiday, it is first necessary to locate his possessions, particularly his trusty Brownie Box camera compelte with 36 exposures...

His workmates however, will not believe that Ted's been on holiday to Spain unless he can show them his holiday snaps. Trouble is, the camera went walkies with the rest of his luggage.

Ted starts with no money, and so, as each item has a price, a credit card would be quite useful. Ted may carry up to eight items at any one time, so be sure to choose carefully before you buy!

Objects may be dropped, but if Ted drops something in the path of an animated character, the character will pick up that object and it will be lost from the current game forever. Be careful!

If you're one of the few remaining people who still like playing antique games - or wish Jet Set Willy was still the best game on the Spectrum - then you'll probably enjoy Costa Capers.
