Beware! Gryphon isn't an easy game to get to grips with. But it's well worth the effort! Tony Crowther's latest features a Gryphon, a magical mythical beast who must fight the evil Id Monsters who are after his gold bars. The Id monsters are the creation of sleeping humans - and they are turning the Gryphon's peaceful Dreamscape world into a land of nightmares!

The graphics are typically Crowther-esque - lots of chunky 3D buildings and forests. Tony has also forests. Tony has also squeezed in a nice line in perspective as the Gryphon and monsters can be hidden by buildings etc as they zap through the landscape.

The game is basically a scrolling shoot out - but the Gryphon also has to carry gold bars to build bridges over festering rivers full of pollution to reach different stages of the game.

Don't expect it to be easy - it isn't. But Gryphon is a lot of fun if you are prepared to give it a chance!
