After a disappointing start, software available for the C64 has improved beyond all expectations. This program demonstrates the high quality becoming standard from some.

You control a spaceship and must explore a series of caves - inhabited by bizarre species - destroying light bulbs as you go. The maze is complex and, combined with the nasties, tests your reactions and delicacy of touch.

Graphically the game is of a high standard with caves scrolling from side to side. Single pixel scroll is nicely implemented and movement is extremely smooth. Sprite design is good - I found the mechanical ducks particularly attractive. And sound is nice, the theme being Tocata and Fugue... well, nearly.

There are five skill levels and you can choose the number of protective shields on the spaceship.

A game of the highest quality which offers excellent value for money and is guaranteed to keep you twitching over the keyboard for many hours. Nice one, Alligata.
