Fancy a truly outrageous shootout in an Italian restaurant? If you do, make sure you wear your old T-shirt because your sauce squirter will be working overtime. Robbers are trying to steal your ravioli tins and you must stop them, and their Pac People buddies, from ruining the industry.

The game is compatible with the P.A.S.E. joystick, but keyboard control is also quite straightforward. Very good use of sound and colour combine to make the effect quite spectacular. There is scope for a wide range of skill levels and the hall of fame is very nicely done, with many entries possible.

Arcadia says this is part of a trilogy. If the next two live up to this standard then the fun should be maintained at a high pitch.

Apart from what I believe is an original idea, Arcadia has put together an addictive program that will appeal to just about every games player. From simple fun to cut-throat competition, Pasta Blasta should fill your needs, if not your stomach, quite nicely.
