After Ledgeman arrives home from the village auction with a Victorian bureau, he decides to dust away the cobwebs and put all his important papers into the top drawer. On opening the second drawer, he is astonished to find a map. The map gives directions to a hidden cave where precious stones can be gathered. However, it also warns you of the strange and perilous guardians of the cave, sentinent barrels, meteor storms and host of wandering beasts...

With such a preamble, it's an anticlimax to find Ledgeman is actually just a platform and ladders-type game. However, the graphics are good. The characters are well defined and movement is smooth and flicker-free. Each screen is carefully designed so that you have to collect the jewels in the right order and timing is critical.

I did find that some of the screens were a little too hard, but that doesn't detract from the fact that this is a very enjoyable Manic Miner derivative at a very low price.
