Lazy Jones is a hotel worker given to shirking and he has a passion for arcade games. In fact he would much rather spend his time on an arcade machine than doing his cleaning job.

The hotel has three floors and each is paraded by a hotel manager, the ghost of a previous manager of Jones' free-running cleaning trolley. All three are out to get Jones and his only line of defence is his ability to jump unless he can duck into the lift or a hotel room.

There are six rooms on each floor and an arcade game waits in all but three: the bedroom cupboard, bedroom and toilet.

On entering a room with a game, Jones strolls boldly over takes up his joystick and the screen springs to life with one of a wide range of simple games (I mean simple in concept, not necessarily simple to play). The games range from invader, defender and dodgem types to more esoteric games like wafers and one where the aim is to get a drink in a bar. The drinking session is the most amusing because you have to cope with a drunken customer who staggers up and down the bar, pushing you along with him if you get in the way.

When all the rooms have been entered another round begins in which everything goes faster, until the non-arcade rooms become essential. You can enter these rooms as often as you wish but the arcade rooms can only be used once per round.

One irritating feature I found was the fact that occasionally Jones is resurrected after a fall, he reappears directly in front of the cleaning trolley without the chance to jump. Another life expended unnecessarily.

The music is varied and well done with Lazy Bones being the principal tune but you can turn it off if you find it irritating.
