Land Of Neverwhere

After the great battle of Thang, eight children became stranded in the hidden silos around Home Base terror. These poor children must be rescued at all costs - therefore a single mercenary has been sent to recover the hapless minors.

The main character (complete with the first young prodigy in tow) lopes smoothly across some beautifully detailed scrolling screens. The attacking sprites, however, are less well drawn and vary from obscure to very strange indeed: beware the faded disc-jockey that kills on contact!

Getting from one side of the landscape to the other proves a straightforward, but difficult, task to complete and after several attempts the lack of any enthralling action soon caused my interest to wane.
