Your task is to search a maze to find and collect six jewels stolen from the Sultan. However, these are protected by the demented Sultan's ex-bodyguard who attacks everyone in sight.

Every action depletes your energy and, at best, you can easily carry two jewels at a time to the exit. There are nine options at each move, you can jump the inner hedges or look at the map for a few moments.

The displays for both maze and map are clear and easily understood. The maze is well constructed in 3D perspective which is redrawn after a few seconds delay - very good for a Basic program. Colours are green, yellow and blue and are used well, sound is limited but effective.

Instructions are only supplied on screen and are well written and comprehensive, but I would have liked a copy on the insert.

The game is enjoyable to play, it provides a challenge to players who enjoy a thoughtful exercise, but it will probably be too slow for those who prefer arcade action.

Loading presented no problems and ten difficulty levels are offered. It took me quite a while at level one, the easiest. This is a game which, though not addictive, I will play occasionally.
