Mopiranger is a game that many of you will recognise as a Pacman-like layout, yet it requires more complex strategies. The scene is an underwater labyrinth in which the fiendish Razons are holding the Moplits captive. Mopy Ranger, in his canoe, has the task of rescuing them against many difficulties.

The tidal currents within the water maze randomly change directions, making the task at times seemingly impossible.

While Mopy has his stone beamer ray, turning Razons into stone, they present obstacles by the diverted water flow. If played with a lot of dedication, this game can be most rewarding and, at times, very frustrating.

The game is started with three Rangers and another is awarded when a mission is completed or a new screen is started. There is also a pause facility (F1) key, and a suicide exit with (F2) should you not be able to clear the pattern. This, of course, will lose you a Ranger.

There are 50 screens on this game, so you will need sharp wits and a lot of strategy, combined with patience. Control is with either keyboard or joystick.

This game is a definite departure from Konami's range of excellent games in its style and is set to be another winner. The graphics, action and style are super.
