Zippy is my tip to become the next superstar of computer games. His name will soon be up there in lights alongside the other greats like Miner Willy and Hungry Horace.

Many of you will already have encountered Zippy in his first game - The Pyramid. Following the success of The Pyramid, Fantasy Software have rushed out a sequel with no apparent concern at typecasting their new protege.

Doomsday Castle follows the now familiar pattern of the arcade-style adventure game. You have to negotiate our hero through no less than 75 interconnecting halls and labyrinths, dodging the nasties and collecting six precious stones en route.

Doomsday Castle is proof that Ultimate do not have a monopoly on pretty smooth scrolling graphics. This is the prettiest game I've seen since Pssst!

It's addictive to the point of frustration and I for one am determined to get even with that darned Scarthax one of these days.

Available now at £5.95 from most good software shops.
