Sick of living out the life of a silly clown permanently wearing stupid clothes and girly make-up, Mr Do has decided to cut loose from his days at the circus and live the life of the adventurer, dishing out justice to all the baddies who stray into his path.

Of course, our hero carried out similar japes in the arcade gems, Mr Do and Mr Do's Castle, going around the screen dropping fruit on all the nasties he can find (Doesn't sound that effective to me). However, in Mr Do's latest frolic, he's going to have to use his Crystal Ball of Death and devastating rolling logs dotted around the screen to carry out the good work.

Mr Do can also colour the screen, Qix style, to locate extra fruit and hidden bonuses, and PacMan style dots can be collected to replenish his amazing meanie-mashing sphere. Mr Do's on the run again (after yet another hot Madras curry!) and he'll need your help to get him through the pile of vicious screens that await him.

Welcome back to the almighty Mr. Do! Well, perhaps not so almighty, because the number of times the opposition cream our hero in this game is almost unreal - we're talking mega-frustration here!

The actual gameplay itself is quite addictive, and if it wasn't for Mr Do's high mortality rate, I'd have been hooked right from the start and no mistake. The graphics are smaller than they were in the arcade game, but they're perfectly formed, and the conversion reproduces the coin-op's jazzy tunes and spot effects perfectly.

The gameplay is also spot-on and that's where Mr Do! Run! Run! really scores, because you simply can't beat the satisfaction of wiping out a whole screenful of nasties with one rolling log!

There's a huge variety of enemy sprites in this game and each one has a different behaviour pattern - my favourite has to be the fairly harmless snake that transforms into a rampaging ball of flame! This game is a barrel of laughs all right, and a damn good bargain to boot, but be warned, it's one tough cookie!
