Technician Ted: The Megamix

Well, it's time for fun and frolics again at the local Microprocessor factory.

Yes, Technician Ted is back for a 128K megamix of Hewson's chart-topping game.

The original 48K with more than forty screens has been boosted to more than 100 by programmers Steve Marsden and David Cooke.

There are thirty tasks to perform as Ted starts his day at 8.30am and clocks off at 5.30pm. If he doesn't get all the work done, he gets the OBE - Order of the Big Elbow!

Time is all important. Lives are lost if Ted collides with any hostile objects - and there are quite a few.

No doubt platform freaks will be sent into ecstacy by the huge sprawling game. Map-makers will also find it a challenge.
