"It's the Wooluf," you may recall, was the title of a truly abyssmal cartoon show that escaped from the Hanna-Barbera stable sometime during the late sixties/early seventies. Gruesomely animated and horrendously unfunny, it was one of the worst post-"Scooby Doo" (original season) HB offerings ever and consequently marked the end of an era for the once highly-rated fun merchants.

I tell you this simply for lack of anything else to say about this flat offering from The Home Of The Things.

As far as I can see, it's a straight reworking of Virgin's early chunker, Sheepwalk. The graphics are neater but the gameplay is strikingly similar. In it, you must instruct your trusty collie to herd a flock of sheep across a bridge, through a wood and into the relative safety of the sheep pen. Meanwhile the hungry 'wooluf' patrols the forest in the hope of gobbling up some stray dinners. Clear the sheet and you're blessed with another flock of even more suicidal sheep. Woolly stuff indeed.
