This game has a very poor cover and confusingly detailed instructions. As Nuke Lear, you hold the most important job of the twenty-first century - controlling nuclear waste.

You must channel radioactive barrels into legal dumps, making sure they do not drop into illegal ones where too high a build up will cause a huge explosion. Screen presentation shows a network of coloured roads, plus floors connected by two poles.

You control a cutely animated man and must alter the paths of the deadly waste with... your head! On later levels there are telephones to answer and the game dramatically speeds up. It's all good, clean fun, very simple in idea but with complex rules.

Colour, sound and graphics are okay, the latter being ultra smooth, but I felt that with a little more effort the game could have been much better. Maybe a hi-resolution screen or a more complex layout would have added playability. The game also had an annoying tendency to crash.

Still, at the budget price, good value for money, maybe more suitable for younger players. Certainly better than some cheap products.

P.S.
