Jack the duck has found himself trapped in the palace dungeons. Frantically he must smash the Terraducktile eggs before they hatch and come flying after him. However, there are some snags, such as the stones crumble away as he steps on them and it becomes increasingly tricky through which to pick a route. Also the dungeons are inhabited by some amazing creatures such as duck-eating micros. prawns and teddy bears. They are out to get Jack and have also left their cooking pots around for him to fall into.

The display is colourful with clever use of Oric's attributes and I also liked the sound effects. Since the normal text screen is used, the movement is of the step-by-step sort but in a game of this type that is no drawback. The 16 skill levels increase gradually, and should provide an appropriate range of difficulty for a wide range of players - what goes on in the top ones is still a mystery to me.

In all the game is very well put together and. should provide lasting entertainment - but don't let those eggs hatch because the beasts are really mean.
