This could be another winner from Audiogenic, who seem to consistently bring out only good software.

The object is to fire arrows at various hostile creatures. The wounds inflicted are shown in quite good detail - not for the squeamish!

The scenario is a forest. As you move left or right using the joystick, the screen scrolls from side to side. When moving you see the display in a format with near objects moving faster than distant objects.

As time continues, the moon rises and falls, screen colours change and stars come out. This is a nice touch which gives the game variety.

The backing music plays throughout. After a while you get tired of this; typical of most games.

To play properly you need a colour television or monitor. When using black and white the shades of grey tend to blend together.

Incidentally, I thought the bug in the screen with the dragon wasn't very original. Quite often, the dragon splits into two halves at about the place where the sprite MSB settings occur.
