Goodness knows what Arthur Scargill would make of the working
conditions in the Magnetic Quartz mine in a Dromedan Leisure complex.
But I suspect that even his lads would think twice before taking
on the natives in this game.
You play a sort of England soccer fan-type role, charging round
the mine up and down ladders between different levels digging holes
for the poor residents (Dromedaries?) to fall into.
When they do, you belt them through the floor with a long-handled
shovel.
Some beasties are tougher and need to be dropped through more
than one level. Try to clear each level before you run out of oxygen
or get eated!
The game has nine levels of play and is quite a challenge in the later
stages.
The graphics are fairly good and the Spectrum's limited sound is used
well to add to the excitement. Control is by keyboard or Kempston
joysticks.
Definitely high on addictiveness, and great fun to play.
