Not only has this game pinched the name from one of my favourite bands but also nicked its theme from one of my favourite games! Icicle Works is basically a reworked version of Boulder Dash - but without much of the dash.

The idea is to guide your character through various rooms constructing various toys from the parts you find buried in piles of snowballs - which roll around Boulder Dash fashion as you burrow through them.

The scrolling slow and jerky and the graphics are pretty naff.

I was quite disappointed when I first saw Icicle Works, I expected a lot more from the company that brought us Boulder Dash and Frak.

Wait for Boulder Dash 1 and 2 to appear for the Spectrum - coming soon from Beyond.
