This is the sequel to the original Trashman game, and by and large it is just as good. The mission is to go forth into the world and throw away all the trash.

At the start of the game, you are shown a world map and all the countries that can be visited. This obviously takes money (Everything seems to these days!), and where you can go depends on the amount of money that you have got. Quite a few places of interest can be visited: Spain, America, Hong Kong, France, Germany, Samoa and Israel.

Paris is the cheapest place to start, and whilst there, the job offered is to collect all the frogs that the chef has accidentally let loose in the cafe, whilst avoiding bumping into the French waitresses (I know what I would rather do!). The cafe was generally well depicted with tables, umbrellas, etc, but the leaping reptiles appeared as white dots bouncing around the screen; even the delicacy of its legs was not apparent.

In Germany, you're at the famous Oktoberfest with the mammoth task of clearing away all the empties, whilst trying to forget about your love for the drink as well. This screen was slightly easier to play and the only real difficulty was to catch sight of an empty glass.

After these two locations, you can go on to Spain, where you have to pick up roses in a bullring. Sounds easy? The bull is still moving about the ring and still fancies a game or two. In New Orleans, you are employed to pick up the money that the crowd are throwing at the band, but some members of the band are mean and greedy, so you have to watch out for them. If you manage to get enough money, then you can be on your way to Jerusalem, where worshippers' tissues have to be tidied up around the Wailing Wall.

The only problem with this game was the fact that the visit to each country lasted far too long, and as the money decreased with your inefficiency, it was quite difficult not to find yourself stranded, penniless, and with no means of getting home!

There is quite a lot of action in this game, and although occasionally the graphics were poor, this is a challenging game and should keep you amused for some time.
