I can't help liking a game that rewards a high score with "Oh I say, jolly well done!" It makes a refreshing change from the usual jargon.

Griddlebug is fast-moving, calling for quick responses. You have to keep griddlebug alive by guiding him to meals and avoiding the voracious Gridmaster by dodging behind Golden Apples or Power Packs. You must size up the situation quickly - delay is fatal. Success takes you to the next scren for more of the same.

The game is very difficult but persevere and you may discover Gridmaster's weaknesses, then life gets easier. There are 10 levels - I gave up at three. The set-up routine is tiresome, otherwise a very good game.

I cannot say the same for Bogeyman. Your task is to fight germs causing Clive's cold - yes, that sort of Bogeyman. It is difficult to control with very poor key response. Scoring system is incomprehensible and the game must actually be RUN for each play! The instructions go on in a humorous way, which is fun but makes things less than clear. There are no on-screen instructions for either.
