Ghostbusting is the name of the game in Spooked, which has you controlling a small bug-eyed person on a romp through a multi-screen platform-packed mansion. Dodge the skulls and spooks, then grab any frogs or bugs which are crawling around and chuck them into a cauldron to cook up spells for every occasion.

It's a neat combination of platforming and blasting, with a bit of Hangman thrown in. The action is fast, colourful and fun, and the graphics are really rather cute. There's even a scardeymeter which indicates how the difficulty level increases when you're doing well. Definitely the best new budget release we've seen on the Spectrum this month.

A jolly little platform game with some very novel touches to set it apart from the crowd.
