This old favourite has already been out on the Spectrum (about a year ago) and the Commodore 64 (more recently), so it comes as something of a surprise to see it suddenly out on the Amstrad.

The game follows the Spectrum format completely with no multi-coloured graphics but the quality of the graphics is quite high along with the accompanying animation. The game follows the side-on room to room, problem solving type of game in a similar vein to Ultimate "Underwurlde" sort of game.

This game, however, is set in space with your little creature (no other word for it really) can run around the screen pick up and drop objects, and build towers for him to jump off.

Around the game are various objects that will help him in his (its) quest such as a credit card to gain entry to various installations, and a rocket scooter sort of device that lets you wander around the screen at will.

A very good game with a lot of challenge in it. I had forgotten how much that I'd enjoyed the original, and this game is very enjoyable to play. If this type of game is your cup of tea, then this is one of the better ones.
