You are sacked. *Get out!* Gilbert "Grumpy" Gumphrey, aged detective at Mole Brothers Store, has had another bad day. But there's always another day.

There is enough going on in the 40 screens of Gremlin's new game to make Grace Brothers in Are You Being Served? seem really dull.

And it's not the normal game we've come to expect from Gremlin. Supersleuth is a touch more sophisticated, a lot more infuriating and jolly addictive.

The game invites comparisons with Pyjamarama and the like and comes off well.

Messages appear on the screen telling Grumpy what to do next. For example, you may have to get the boss his tea, clear an invasion of ducks, put out fires, clear up floods or trap an escaped gorilla.

Fail to carry them out and you get a warning letter. Three letters and it's the sack. For you gamesters who love making maps. Supersleuth will put your skills to the test. Without one, you might as well give up.

One hint, it's a good idea for Grumpy to grab the skateboard. With it he can move around the store very quickly.
