It's difficult to describe the plot for Crazy Cavers but I suppose it could appeal to compulsive eaters, as a substitute for the real thing.

In the centre of the cavern is a chomping, disembodied mouth and above it, a pair of rolling eyes. Your aim is to operate the Cubey Crammer, push the crunchy cubes twixt the big rubbery lips and thus feed the craving craw. Cramming the crunchy cubes is quickly complicated, since collision with a crazy crasher crushes your cubey crammer to a crisp.

The crazy crashers are canary-like creatures careering round the cavern on erratic courses. Cavern completion is achieved when all the crunchy cubes are crammed and you can then continue on to cavern two, where the cave configuration causes more consternation.

You win the final accolade, when all ten caverns have been emptied of cubes, a task which is likely to take considerable practice, as a high degree of manual skill is required. It's a wacky plot which should appeal to younger computer buffs, who'll like the pocket money price. But I think it will find less favour with the game sophisticates.
