Jammin' is anything but an ordinary game.

In the game, you play the part of "Rankin Rodney", a street musician who is trying to make it into the big time. Unfortunately for Rodney, he is having a lot of problems getting all his instruments together in the same place.

Bad notes and bum chords trouble Rodney and, if he happens to run into one, he drops everything at the shock of hearing such an awful noise.

The game is played on a multi-coloured maze which has part of the screen moving in four separate directions, like coloured escalators. Rodney must hop onto the coloured escalators and jump off at the right point to collect the particular musical instrument he wants which he then brings home.

Rodney has a couple of enemies who try to halt his progress. Bum notes travel all across the maze. If Rodney happens to run into one while he is carrying a musical instrument, he instantly drops the instrument which returns to its original position in the maze.

To move on to the escalators, Rodney must wait for a coloured square of the same colour as the one he is standing on, then the joystick is pushed in the direction in which he wants to move.

The game has twenty different levels and should provide several weeks of hair-pulling sessions. Consider yourself an expert if you manage to finish the game without a receding hairline.

Jammin' is an unusual and very entertaining game. Well worth the pennies it costs too.
