Do you have a reputation for truancy, never doing your homework, getting into fights and sticking gum in all the wrong places? If so, you could be Tubaruba, the hero of Firebird's latest game.

Up to now, you've avoided real trouble but now the headmaster has caught you breaking a window. He gives you a choice. Either recover the £50 to pay for the window's repair... or be expelled! The headmaster is so confident you'll fail that he's bit his red Ferrari on it!

Your quest to recover the cash is remarkably hazardous. A host of missiles, octopusses, birds and people are out to stop you collecting the pound notes and coins strewn around the game screens. Contact with any of these nasty critters drains your energy, but it can be replenished by collecting cans of coke. In addition, you can even hitch a frantic ride through the game on a Sinclair C5! However, besides this odd little diversion, the game has little new to offer.

For £1.99 it's worth a look.
