A quick read of the Mutant Masher's Handbook updates you on the latest armaments issue; crossed laser beams no less. Wrong! Any fool can see they are cosmic brooms (mark 3, standard issue). Actually, this is just as well, as the job of protecting the power supply was getting a mite too easy, so the new gear will certainly add a touch of spice.

Looking down from your observation post, you can see four tunnels just opened up by the dross of creation, those pesky malicious, malevolent mutants. Any second now they'll be gushing out from their burrows and swarming towards the pulsating power generator in the centre of the screen. Good job you had three Shredded Wheat for breakfast as it's going to be some struggle.

By moving the horizontal and vertical force fields of your broom, with all the speed and cunning you can muster, the monsters can be swept into oblivion. Some will go through and eat into the generator and of course you lose a life if they munch away all the walls. But there is one ace up your sleeve: using the same cosmic broom, sweep one of your purple Death or Glory Boys down a tunnel and then get ready for screen two.

Ah! the mutant queen is right at the bottom, guarding her eggs. Make danger man shin down the ladder, avoiding falling rocks, and plant a bomb right near the megaslug. Scramble back to the open and Kapow! - one burrow gone. Three more to go and now some bristles are missing from the broom. Well, you wanted a challenge! A good game with reasonable graphics and an exciting build-up of sound.
