This is the sad tale (Well, it is when I play) of old Arthur, and his many attempts to potter to the shops. Guide the old codger over the double zebra, across the six lane motorway, over the high speed train tracks, and finally to screen four and Nirvana - the supermarket. What else?

As you make grabs for the coins that adorn the pavements (probably overlooked by the last batch of muggers) remember that Gladys - grand fatale - lurks amid-screens. She's out to get our man - and you wouldn't want a squashed Arthur on your conscience (on your carpet), would you?

I have a hunch that if the grey panthers ever got their dentures into this little number, Mastertronic would never see retirement. Shake not those silver locks at me - I didn't write it! But I did have fun playing it.

The graphics are rather smart, especially for the short memory of the Vic 20, and at the lower budget price. Psycho Shopper has plenty of Pzazz, but never let an off-the-wall idea fool you - it's difficult to accomplish. Your really have to hare it to avoid that traffic.

This was not helped by the fact that there was an annoying delay between movement of joystick and movement of Arthur. If this is a result of age - there sure ain't no flies on Gladys! I don't know what old people are coming to these days.
