Cunning swagmen drop from the trees, parachute from helicopters and swarm from the hills, intent upon stealing baby kangaroos. But they're not getting yours, Blue. Nine roos penned up as decoy and you're concealed, ready to pick swaggers off with your bow and arrow. Trouble is, they keep throwing the boomerangs, which has a nasty effect on your life, and if you run out of lives or roos, you're out of business.

A previous version of this scenario bored me to tears - so why do I like this? The option to customise difficulty to my level? The screen variety? Choice of straight or guided arrows? All that, plus combination of super graphics, excellent sound and a great sense of humour. The plaintive squeal of captured roos, swagmen diving satisfyingly headfirst to death, text comments; all make it a joy to play. The death sequence is superb too.
