Now this is a game worth having. As in most good games, the scenario is simple. You control a man whose job is to oversee the operation of an oil pipeline. The problem is that a saboteur keeps climbing to the top of the screen and dropping plugs which stop the oil flow. When this happens, your man summons a fitter who, with a hammer, removes the plug. The bad news is that there are Venusian spiders and lobsters which walk along the pipe and, if given the chance, will savage the fitter or your little man.

Graphically, the game is superb with nice use of the shades of grey to give a 3D effect to the pipeline. The animation is brilliant. The high spot is the use of sound. Throughout the game music of the highest standard is played.

The usual options of pause, choice of level, number of lives, starting screen, joystick/keyboard option etc are available. In all, a testing game which has been programmed immaculately. Get it and enjoy.
