Out On A Limb

"Fee, Fie, Foe, Fum - I smell the blood of an Englishman. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!" booms the excellent voice at the start of Anirog's Jack And The Beanstalk-inspired game, Out On A Limb.

And Jack better be quick to escape the giant as he explores 23 locations in search of three treasures - a golden egg, a harp and a bag of gold.

The speech is excellent but the rest of the game's sound effects do not really match it. Another variation on the platform format.
