Perhaps the inflated price includes a bottle of aspirin! The sound at the beginning of the game and when the monsters move is enough to give anyone a headache.

You are in a multi-storey building and your task is to paint the floors, while monsters track you down. If you complete the painting without being caught then you can dig holes and lure your pursuers to their death. But be caeful not to fall into your own traps or tumble off ladders or edges of levels.

You have a long supply of oxygen but don't let this gool you - it can run out. A fresh supply of oxygen is given to each of your three men. Arrowed keys control movement and K and L wields your pick-axe to left or right.

There is a long delay between the game segments, and the colour contrast on the replay instruction screen and the score could be better. This is quite an amusing game, if a little slow.
