Once upon a time there was a young man named Jack who had
a beautiful girlfriend called Jill - until the local giant incarcerated
her in his castle.
Being a brave sort of chap Jack, decided to enter the castle
to attempt a rescue.
The castle takes the form of a 45 screen maze which you must
negotiate in order to find the key which will unlock Jill's dungeon.
Different areas are sealed off by coloured doors, unlocked by
coloured keys which are to be found around the castle.
I don't know if the giant is a greengrocer in his spare time but
the castle is littered with pieces of fruit. Every one must be
collected before you are allowed to free Jill.
As soon as you have released your beloved, the giant will
awaken. You must therefore escape from the castle within the
next two minutes or you've got big problems.
The 45 screens do not need to be completed in sequence, and
you are free to wander from place to place as you seek the
next key.
Each screen is big, colourful and normally patrolled by a
nicely detailed bad guy.
There are also secret passages which can take you from one
section to another without the need for a key.
Jack Attac is a well written, fun to play, and sensibly priced
program.
