A fast-action version of Centipede... and I mean really fast.

You are in the Green Forest where lurk strange and formidable creatures. Your job is to destroy the Nightcrawler by chopping it up into small pieces.

It seems simple, until you find there are no less than 39 different levels. So to progress to the level of master - if you ever do - takes a lot of practice with keyboard or joystick. And while you are trying to kill the Nightcrawler a Pacman-type figure appears on the screen trying to do the same.

For a game where your reac-tions must be lightning fast, this has few equals.

It's quite easy to score at the lowest level. But to reach the highest level was beyond me, although I tried for hours. Still, it's a challenge worth taking up.
