Mr. D

Mr. D is certainly strange. Not only does he resemble a little horse, but goes underground to collect cherries. I always thought they grew on trees.

It seems dinosaurs are also fond of these fruits - on each screen there are two that pursue Mr. D, who will lose a life if caught. Using keys or joystick, Mr. D must collect all the cherries to progress onto another screen and score ppoints. Also beneath the ground are apples. If Mr. D passes directly under one it will fall down the screen. Should one fall on a dinosaur's head, the monster is killed.

If Mr. D can't manage to outrun the monsters he does have five magic balls to use in each screen. When fired, it will follow the path left by Mr. D, destroying a dinosaur if it happens to be in the way.

Compared with other games of its type, this doesn't stand out as being particularly original or inspiring. Some variation in the graphics and a high score table might add more interest to what is otherwise a very repetitive game.
