Riddler's Den

What's a Manelephant? Find out by loading up the first game from new software house Electric Dreams. Trunkie - that's the Manelephant's name - sets off on the first part of his quest to find the Great Golden Rod Gregogo and needs to enter the Riddler's Den in order to find the Golden Tusk - and get enough treasure to set off on his next adventure. Is there a sequel coming or what?

Riddler's Den is a solid arcade adventure with nice graphics and pretty good gameplay. You must pick up objects as you go - using them to solve puzzles.

The game comes with a clue-filled poem all about The Den which you need to read to get the most out of the game.

Overall, Riddler's Den is a good debut for Electric Dreams - not terrifically original but a high quality product.
