This must be one of the best games from Microdeal. There are 120 different screens in the game. Although they are different they are very similar.

The aim is to run through the jungle and collect the treasures. Many obstacles are included to bar your way or kill you - such as tar pits, snakes, crocodiles, etc.

There are two levels on the screen at any one time. The top half contains the jungle while the bottom half is an underground tunnel. Access to the two is available by holes and ladders which are on certain screens. More points are gained by using the underground system. Exactly why this is I do not know as the top level is much harder.

Cuthbert In The Jungle

A time limit of 12 minutes has been imposed for collecting all of the treasures.

The game loads quickly and is problem free. A recording has been made on both sides of the cassette. You may play with either joystick in port 1 or by using the keyboard.

The instructions are well written and concise. They even include tips for getting high scores.
