Nodes Of Yesod is a game that came out some time ago for the Spectrum, and achieved some success as it carried on in the tradition set by some of the earlier Ultimate games like Underwurlde. The delay in getting the Amstrad version of the game is well worth it as this version of the game doesn't have that "hang on I'll just get my Spectrum emulator program running, nobody will notice the difference" kind of look about it.

As hinted earlier, Nodes Of Yesod is one of those 'caverns' type of games where your character runs about, falling off ledges most of the time and occasionally being able to jump back up step-by-step, to where you first fell from.

Nodes Of Yesod is set on the moon with you having to find a huge monolith buried underground (Does this sound familiar to fans of Arthur C. Clarke...); to get this, you have to find some keys that lock to the monolith up, and to find these you have to... etc, etc.

The graphics are rather good and have been specially redone for the Amstrad and have exceptionally good detail as the four colour mode has been used.

The sound is worthy of note as well as some highly apt music plays away in the background as you play.

On the whole I think that ardent fans of this type of game will be pleased at finding another classic being converted to the Amstrad format.
