The problems involved in organising a tea party! It's the Mad Hatter's un-birthday and he hasn't prepared any food. Why an un-birthday though? Don't ask me, it's all Lewis Carroll's fault. In this game, you have to help the Hatter to collect the food from around the screen and put it on the table ready for his guests.

There's a number of sweets on the screen which need rounding up and a chocolate roll at the bottom. You can't get to the roll though, until you have ten sweets. Once you have collected the right number of sweets, you can go for the roll. Then, put it on the table at the top of the screen to claim your extra points.

Get five rolls and you've made it to the next level. Here, everything gets faster and there are more bouncing objects to avoid.

Life is not easy on the first level though. There's a mouse and some poison, which are both out to get you. And one suck from that hoover and you've had it.

This game would be fairly average except for a bug which makes it almost unplayable. The character of the Mad Hatter keeps moving, even if you're not pressing a direction key or holding the joystick.

The Hatter will move to the left by about three character squares, and will even shoot off-course when you're trying to move him in a straight line. Until this is sorted out, I wouldn't buy this game. It runs either from the keyboard or with a Kempston joystick.
