As if you hadn't guessed it by now, this is the pyramid-jumping game in which you play at being a 'dong with a pendulous nose'. The aim is to colour as many cubes as you can before being caught and deprived of life by one of the other inhabitants.

In this game there are a few more features than in the original. There are the bananas for you to slip on and there are the Whirly Hats that can be worn to transport you around the screen. If you go for bananas, look out for Boris the Gorilla as he is rather fond of them too. There is the usual snake and spinning discs that you use to cause his downfall and this is it really. The game is good and fast with plenty of colour.

Having said all that, it is nowhere near as original as other games I have seen for the Amstrad. In its favour is the fact that it is three pounds cheaper than most Amstrad games.
