Don't be put off by the insane insert blurb - and don't be too attracted by the half-naked damsel floating in a bubble on the cover either. The presentation may be over the top but the game is fun.

Frustrating, certainly, but therein lies its addiction. The racing frequently might refer to it as Surround out of UXB.

Ignore all mention of Bill the Worm - star of stage and silver screen - this is a maze game. Using the Z, X, : and / keys you must wend your way from bottom to top through nine mazes, each ploughed with hidden mines.

You are told how many mines are adjacent to your present position but not where they are - you must discover that for yourself.

You have one life (how realistic), and the opportunity to rescue damsels - clones, all of Nora Mudroe - who are looking for Bill their hero. You get extra points for this chivalrous act.

The first few mazes are easy but then a little bug starts to follow you, forcing you to go faster and make mistakes - and get blown up.

A mine layer sweeps across the screen, putting some down and picking some up and some mines become visible.

And Bill snores peacefully through it all.
