Meet Shuffling Sid the amazing shrinking fireman. He owes a lot to old Wally, the original suburban arcade adventurer. But he's still pretty cute.

Whilst beating back the flames of a blazing fire in a vast shrinking plant, Shuffling Sid, tripped and fell into the jaws of a powerful shrinking machine and, not surprisingly, was shrunk.

To unshrink shruenken Shuffling Sid, stretch him! To do this you will have to find the five parts of the stretching rack and put them together. After which Shuffling Sid will return to his original size.

Not all the objects that you find will be useful! Not all exists will be obvious - try jumping up through the ceiling of some rooms and they lead into different areas of the factory - and some of your exits will not be open until you have found the right object to let you pass through. But most of all beware of the ghosts and ghouls that haunt the factory!

At first the game is pretty confusing to play. There are arrows at the top of the screen which indicate which directions you can move in. But sometimes where there's an arrow you still can't move. It must be the "having the right object rule"!

And sometimes when you jump on an object to avoid a nasty, you find yourself mysteriously transported to a room above. Not as brilliant as Spellbound - but quite a nice game.
