Back in the days of the Commodore Pet, Supersoft used to supply a range of games, utilities
and business software second to none. I still have a great respect for them, but Quinx is not
going to help restore them to the top.
The scenario is of Arthur having a nightmare before his exams, defending a sheet of paper against
ink-trailing worms, which turn into paper-eating monsters. Arthur must walk over them before
they become monsters, whilst covering their trails with Tippit. Distractions include
occasional food morsels worth bonus points and visits to the toothbrush to satisfy the
marauding dentist. Once the ink-trailing worms have used up one bottle of ink, another
appears of a different colour. When this occurs, if Arthur is not stationed on a piece of paper
at least 25% the size of the original, it's end of game. This, due to the dentist, bonuses
and paper splitting monsters becomes increasingly difficult.
Whilst the graphics are good, the musical accompaniment is minimal. There's no fast load, no high-score table, and it's
not particularly cheap. Overall - nothing special.
