The theme of escaping from an island links together nine mini games within this program. The whole thing is a hybrid of adventure and arcade games - but hardened adventurers will find the random factor too high and lack of purely logical processes frustrating, while arcade addicts will find the reaction games too easy.

But I applaud the concept, and feel that the game has a lot to offer younger users or those who just want something a bit different. Moreover the graphics are good, colour is used effectively and the tunes are cleverly selected.

You can choose three levels of play. and there's a practice mode for any of the nine subgames. These vary from a version of Simon to a simple version of Asteroids called Leaping Lemmings, and a nice touch of humour runs throughout.
