At long last, we see the release of a game that seemed to be bedevilled by problems. First there was System 3 getting themselves banned from the PCW Show for using erotic dancers on their stand and then there was the sudden charge of title when it was pointed out to them exactly what a harlot (the word used in the original title) actually meant.

Twister is the worst form of demonic apparition, found deep in the blackest parts of Hades itself, in order to overcome the fear and evil power of Twister, someone must gather up various mystical symbols before seeking the ultimate confrontation. Twister of course knows that you are coming and sends vast numbers of evil demonic spawn to attempt to thwart you.

The first part of the game sees you leaping from platform to platform as they move towards you, shooting demons and collecting card symbols - hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades. You only have a limited number of bullets although there are extra supplies to be collected. You should also avoid contact with the demons as this reduces your power, shown on a bar in the bottom right hand corner.

The next dimension is set in a tunnel with hordes of dogs and giants after your blood, be careful for you can suddenly invert and find yourself on the ceiling. Completing each dimension gives you another part of the psychic bolt. When the final confrontation comes, you have only one shot with which to destroy Charlotte.

The game is controlled with a simple left, right, jump and fire with objects being collected automatically on contact with them. Most of the graphical effort has been put into the demons, and these are quite well done but on the whole the game is nothng more than average.
