This game has an interesting and original concept behind it. Your objective is to draw a web around some flies to trap them and gain points. To hinder your progress there is a hand which floats around the screen. If you touch this, you die and lose a spider. IF the hand comes into contact with the web then you fall to the ground and have to try again.

As the game gets harder, more and more insecticides appear and spray at you, with the predictable result of you being killed.

The graphics are not over-exciting. The screen is black; you trail a web behind you while shapes float around aimlessly. I can't say that the program made any use of the CBM 64 sound facilities either.

I found the game quite interesting for the first half hour of play, but after the initial novelty wore off it started to get very repetitive and uninteresting. There does not seem to be much lasting interest in this game.
