Set aboard a passenger liner, this novel adventure game involves you tracking round the ship in an attempt to find the evil Mr. Sinister who has planted a bomb on board.

The game is played in the Cluedo mould, with you needing to find the room that the detonator is in, the identity of the bomb and the identity of Mr. Sinister.

There are two versions of the game, a single and a multi-player one. The tape loaded perfectly and the game is started by a single RUN.

The instructions with the program detail all the commands which allow you to move around the ship, take objects and people with you and do all the other things necessary to track down the baddie.

The decks of the ship are on occasion displayed in hi-res, simply but effectively, and there is good use of sound and graphics in the game.

With 25 rooms, 25 objects and 50 people, the possible combinations are endless, and the detective also has to watch out for assassins, the time limit and the number of commands allowed.

My family particularly enjoyed the multi-player version. All in all, an entertaining game.
