Pssst

In the last issue, I reviewed Jet-Pac, the first offering by Ultimate. Now I am pleased to have their latest game - Pssst. It uses much of the same type of fast, smooth and impressive graphics, which we are more accustomed to seeing on the fully fledged arcade machines.

In Pssst, you are a robot (Robbie to be precise) and your task is to make sure that your plant grows and finally blossoms. To help it, Robbie must collect bags of compost and flit swatters which periodically appear. To make things difficult, a variety of pests are also adamant that they wish to eat your plant. To kill these, Robbie must spray them with the right repellent - there are three to choose from. If your plant survives and blossoms a new stage starts with more pests.

The whole game is very professionally written and produced, with excellently smooth and detailed graphics. An original, highly addictive and very enjoyable game to play.
