Felix Meets The Evil Weevils

Yet another of the several computer game characters who is starting to get boring. In the last epic, Felix found himself in a factory, running up and down ladders. Sling the ladders out, replace them with tubes and make the conveyors look a little different, likewise the baddies... and - zippo - "a brand new game"...!

It's not bad. Not good either, more sort of... indifferent. This time round the factory has been overrun by weevils, small wormlike creatures who slide about the place doing nothing in particular but junking Felixes. Felix in turn junks weevils by grabbing aerosol cans that appear at random intervals about the screen and spraying them. One can wastes one weevil.

It goes without saying that the touch of a weevil is death, as is the touch of the ball bearings that travel along the belts and down the tubes.

Not the most exciting game from Program Power's vast library and certainly not the most interesting character. Maybe a more interesting occupation, gambling or serious drinking, might perk the lad up.
