Design Design have built up a cult following with games like Dark Star - which contained some rude comments about C&VG but we won't hold that against them.

With On The Run, the DD team have come up with a more mainstream maze-type arcade adventure set on a planet where the vegetation has gone wild! You play the part of Rick Swift, a Defence Department trouble-shooter. Your mission is to find six deadly flasks filled with the chemical which created the mutant blooms before they become active!

Within the maze you'll find other items. Some are obviously helpful like the smart bombs and the energy giving magic mushrooms. But others offer other strange powers which you have to work out for yourselves.

The graphics on both Amstrad and Spectrum versions are excellent - and the game is extremely playable.
