This is one of those games where the picture on the cassette cover is the best feature of the whole package. If this game had been printed as a listing, for it is entirely Basic, in a magazine then you would have been pleased with the result. It is being sold at nearly seven pounds and this is ridiculous for a game of this standard.

The aim is to walk along a path towards an exit in the opposite corner of the screen. On the way you meet a number of characters who each challenge you for one of your lives.

One will ask you to add up a series of numbers in a very short time, another wants you to shoot a moving blob, a third requires a password that is flashed on the screen and another moves you around the path. Step off the path and you're dead too.

An interesting idea that can be fun but is ludicrously overpriced. For this sort of money, you can expect a full machine code game.
