Maybe the title should be Ton-ginch-eek, but nevertheless it was nice to meet up with Pi-man again. I never did get to finish that adventure game of his.

This game finds our hero embedded in the innards of a computer. His task - to seek out the bane of all computer programmers, the Big Bug.

On the way, he searches the innermost corners of RAM, looking for the treasure stashed away, thus gaining points. En route he meets up with minor bugs with varying degrees of intelligence. Occasionally he may meet up with the arch enemy of all computers, Spike, or rather the big boss, Main Spike!

The game follows a pattern of tunneling, but, as you would expect from Automata, the graphics and graphics animation are very good. Should you grow weary of the game, or if you would like a musical accompaniment, try the other side of the tape. This is a very pleasant musical interlude by the Just Kooks, played on electronic instruments.

As I said earlier, a well worm game pattern, and well worth playing.
