For an advanced strategy game, there doesn't seem to be much skill required here.

The screen represents an aerial view of a busy traffic junction in London. There are four or five streets and each is controlled by a set of traffic lights.

You are in control of these signals and you have to switch them between red and green in such a way as to stop massive build-ups of traffic coming from certain directions.

All that's about all there is to it, really. You move a cursor around with the joystick. Then, when you've selected which set of lights you want to switch, press the fire button to make the connection. Fairly simple and fairly boring.

The most exciting part is probably the intro, with a friendly winking policeman and a London bus accompanied by a Scott Joplin-like piece of music.

Although the cars are just graphic blocks, the movement is good. Especially where they do a right turn into oncoming traffic. If you have £7.95 to spare, wait for something better.
