Although Fantastic Voyage was a fairly chronic film, the program from Quicksilva is far from that.

Cast your mind back to Raquel Welch and Donald Pleasance in charge of a submarine which was miniaturised and injected, along with its occupants, into the comatose body of a scientist suffering from brain damage.

Quicksilva hasn't followed the plot to the letter, but almsot. Your submarine couldn't stand the shock of miniaturisation and distintegrated into six parts throughout the scientist's body. You have to put it back together again by finding all the bits and taking them to the brain.

If your knowledge of anatomy isn't that hot, don't worry because a complete body shows where you are. So, if you've never heard of the hepatic artery and you find yourself in it, at least you can see where it is in relation to the rest.

Unfortunately, this particular scientist is a sickly chap, prone to infections, viruses and growths. Fortunately, you are equipped with a laser which blasts these nasties away as you swim across them.

Swimming is a pretty exhausting activity at the best of times, but in Fantastic Voyage you can top up your energy levels by absorbing oxygen - the red blobs.

Don't expect really spectacular graphics with Fantastic Adventure - but you have a great excuse that you're doing something worthwhile with your Spectrum if your mum asks!
