This is yet another Manic Miner clone, though better than most.

Monty has two aims in life - to get rich quick and to be a hero.

There are forty rooms to the game and he has to collect all the piles of gold in each one before he can move to the next. Unlike most games of this kind, there's no jump button. Monty can move up, down, left or right and that's all.

At the end of his mission, once he's become rich from all that gold, he can rescue the damsel in distress.

If you can't actually get that far, there's a built-in demo to show you what you're missing.

During the game, the Spectrum plays a selection from various classical pieces of music, as only a Spectrum can. Not quite Hooked On Classics but better than nothing.

There's an assortment of nasties trying to prevent Monty achieving his ultimate ambition. One such beast is the beautiful but rare Quantum Leapy. There are also the dreaded parallelians and the Pit of Eternal Slime.

You only have five lives and you play against the clock. Not an easy game by any means.

We'll have to wait for the secret poke numbers to come in. Shouldn't be long.
