The first real blockbuster game on the Amstrad starring Amsoft's favourite hero in a ten level platform/exploration game with 53 screens. You have to collect the crystals from all the screens which are jam-packed with hazards and pitfalls.
You appear at each of the levels from a phone box and this is where you have to return to take yourself to another level. Fortunately you are also returned to the box every time you die so that you can easily switch levels if you're finding one particularly hard going.
The scenes vary enormously and each level is a different time zone with its own special features. Throughout you will encounter deadly green heads and fatal falls but there are masses of enemies that follow movement patterns and should be avoided at all costs.
The scenery is not always to be trusted as floors will melt away under you or drag you along or even take you up and down. The scenery may even kill you since there are some deadly plants around. You rely solely on your ability to walk and jump with accurate timing.
