One game, two characters: If you wish to control Lord Harry load side one or load side two for Lady Harriet.

The game is identical for both players. You are in a group of four gardens each connected by gates halfway along the four sides of the screen.

Each garden is set up with impassable trees, lethal pools of water and edible mushrooms.

One of these mushrooms is poisonous and, after eating it, you only have 99 seconds to find the exit. Fortunately, this mushroom also expands your mind and allows you to see it.

A nice layout of keys which give you some choice, responsive control, fast action and a challenging game which is made harder by the presence of two indestructable dogs which chase you. The cassette insert is nicely printed and contains full instructions.

What is special about this program is the character graphics. These attempt, fairly successfully, to represent humans. The effect is similar to the early line cartoon file characters, but nevertheless marks a step forward from alien creatures, robots, pacman and other indistinct beings.
