Shopper

On loading you are presented with a nice title page which, on completion, switches to a second screen. At this point you notice a feature of the game... a rapid flickering which could be nasty if you have any tendency to migraine.

With screen 1 you have to cross two roads in the style of Frogger. On the way you must collect coins and avoid an aggressive woman who patrols the central reservation.

On reaching the other side of the road, assuming you have collected all the coins, you pass on to the next screen.

Psycho Shopper

The next two screens are very similar to the first and involve roads and railway tracks. Again, you must collect coins and avoid the women.

Screen 4 involves taking a trolly around a supermarket and collecting fruit and things. The ubiquitous women chase after you again.

Since I didn't progress beyond screen 4, and I had no instructions, I can reveal no more.

Graphically the game is above average but the animation and movement were jerky and, particularly on screen 1, flickery. But at £1.99, I couldn't moan too much.
