Psycho Hopper

Remember those big orange bouncy hoppers? Of course you do, sproinging and bounding around the streets, trying to squash the cat - they were great. Now here's a game about a man who spends his life plonked on top of his Bounce Bubble (tm), collecting treasure and duffing up the bad guys as he travels through a series of caves. If any of the baddies collide with you, they damage your hopper, and too many hits spells doom - or at least, a hole in your hopper.

Psycho Hopper makes a pleasant change after seeing so much re-released software at this price. There's nothing of any great note in there, except the urge to play on after you've copped it, and in my eyes that's really the most important factor of any game, cheap or otherwise.

Nothing outstanding, but a jolly 'n bouncy collect-'em-up nonetheless.
