How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A fish. It's this kind of humour that pervades that recently re-released old chestnut, Head Over Heels. Yes, the game Dali would have been proud to write is back, and for only £2.99.

From the school of Isometric 3D - quite a trend in its time - comes a story involving two small creatures charging through room after room of some programmer's nightmare. Head and Heels, the two characters, can do everything you'd expect from arcade adventurers. It's where they run and jump, what they carry etc. that's the important bit.

The worlds the two brave 'things' charge around are the real stars of the show. There's Penitentiary planet - a prison world where you'll need to climb like a mad thing to survive. Safari Land - densely wooded, full of natives and full of traps. West World - where the Mad Emperor (against whom you're struggling) keeps his library of Zane Grey novels and Blacktooth, the final planet, teleport terminus for the empire.

Head Over Heels is a great example of a genre that has passed on into the mists of time - unjustly, perhaps.

Programmed well, it plays excellently and if you feel the need to escape football or alien-bashing this summer, it may be just what you've been looking for.

Looks like a Speccy port, but the graphics are detailed and amusing, and the gameplay is deep enough to keep you going for a long time.

Don't be a dummy (lowest points time).

Green over Green can still be seen.
