A maze game in which Postman Pat has to find a number of parcels hidden in the houses of a small town and deliver them to a mail train. Roaming the streets are a couple of nasties, who will do Pat in if they catch him, though he does have three lives.

An easy loading produced a request for a choice of amateur (three parcels to deliver) or professional (five parcels to deliver).

This selected, a very pretty display appears immediately. No on-screen instructions. An endless succession of trains runs across the top of the screen, and at the bottom is the post office, which has a nasty habit of bursting into flames so Pat has to break off and run to the fire station for help.

Points are scored for successful mail runs and these are shown in a panel at the bottom of the screen. This also shows lives unused and a message HI=0 which must be the Hall of Fame referred to on the insert.

A lively little game with attractive graphics and an amusing story-line, but not very demanding or varied. I suspect it is aimed at the younger games player who will probably enjoy it.
