The best thing that can be said about this pretty average arcade adventure is that it's big. Lots of locations, lots of things to collect and shuffle about in the manner of every arcade adventure ever written.

It's set in a school which looks like a private one to me. I guess loads of you out there have been to an expensive establishment like this - with quadrangles, studies and big musty libraries full of Latin texts. This is definitely not Grange Hill.

Your task is to find the headmaster's stolen wallet. Hang on, maybe it *is* Grange Hill...

It's all predictable stuff, served up lukewarm like a dodgy school dinner. The graphics aren't bad - but uninspiring. The puzzles are uninspiring too. All in all, a game that doesn't make you *want* to play it. It lacks any sort of atmosphere and you end up not caring very much if you find the wallet or not.

Ironically, if Firebird's current batch of budget games - which include gems like Bombscare and Olli And Lissa - weren't so good the inadequacies of this little offering wouldn't show up so much.

Playing this game won't make you very happy - much like having to go to school really...
