Space Panic is an old favourite in the arcades, but there are many more adventurous games now available for the Spectrum. However, if you are dead set on adding a version of this game to your collection then Visions' Sheer Panic is fine.

For those of you unfamiliar with the game, you control a figure armed with a shovel, whose task is to climb ladders and dig holes for careless monsters to fall into. You then rush up and bury them before they have a chance to clamber out.

Vision's monsters are intelligent, the action fast and smooth, and high scores are difficult to get.

Sheer Panic holds no surprises. The graphics are acceptable, and the sound is what we have come to expect from the Spectrum, which isn't much.
