The Man With The Hat is back and this time he's brought his Dad! Well, actually he hasn't, because although Tusker's hero is winner of the Indy lookalike contest, his old dad has actually popped his clogs on the road to the Elephants' Graveyard. Now it's down to you to take up the quest, beating up meddlesome Arabs and collecting useful weapons and mystical objects along the way.

The actual gameplay is best described as a cross between the Indy graphic adventure and System 3'd Last Ninja series, with the arcade element perhaps the most prominent.

As an arcade adventure, Tusker's quite an engrossing game, with decent graphics and sound to jolly along the problem solving. But apart from the unusual subject matter (wot, no Ninjas?) there's nothing particularly outstanding about Tusker.

Not bad, but if you're after an Indiana Jones-type quest, Lucasfilm's Indy adventure is much more fun.
