Remember this, the "all-action" version of the Krypton Factor's assault course, presented by Martin "Mophead" Shaw? Well, when it was converted to computer about two years ago, both 16- and 8-bit formats had a mixed reception, but for a measly three quidlets, it's a much more attractive purchase.

The idea is this. Three races (be they land, sea-based or on The Hill - an unforgiving assault course!) are selected at random, for the player to participate in, and the aim is simply to earn as many points as possible by winning the races. Run The Gauntlet was a pretty decent TV show, and the game is just as good. However, even with lots of vehicles to race about on, the gameplay for each event is basically the same, so everything gets a bit boring after a while.

An interesting sports game which is pretty good value for three sovs. Check it out.
