About time! A game with a cat as the hero. In their debut game Starlight strike a blow for cat-kind and prove for good that all cats are probably the most intelligent creatures in the known universe.

Norman is the name of our feline friend. He finds himself in the strange world of Greyhell on a quest for the Orb of Light which will restore sweetness - and light - to Greyhell, currently under the evil rule of Mauron the Evil One.

Norm the Cat explores a world which owes a lot to Knightlore, Fairlight and several other similar games - but never fear, it's fun anyway.

You have to interact with the other characters in the game. There are five nice guys who will help you and eight baddies who seek to rid you of one of your nine lives.

These characters talk in riddles which appear in speech bubbles - first seen in Movie. Unravel the riddles and you could be on the way to solving some of Greyfell's numerous puzzles.

Watch these bubbles carefully 'cos you could get a clue which will lead onto other clues.

For example, someone might ask for some fruit. Take him a nice fresh Granny Smith and he might give you something in exchange.

Use this to pick things up, select useful spells - yup, old Norm has magic leaping from his paws - and use objects.

At busy times, when you are being attacked for example the icon system gets a bit frustrating and difficult to manipulate.

Traps are everywhere. Pressure pads, magical self-building walls, pot-holes, dungeons and so on.

Very mappable, extremely playable and very addictive, Greyfell is quite simply the cat's whiskers.

Arcade adventurers shouldn't fail to add this debut game from Starlight to their collection.
