The Ice Age is coming so Ugh's got to stock up with food by stealing Ptery the Pterodactyl's eggs! Pterry, Rex the tyranosaurus and Alison the aliosaurus drop tones on Ugh.

As Ugh you must climb the hill to get the eggs. You have an unlimited amount of spears in your cave - but you can only carry one at a time. When you pick up an egg you leave yourself defenceless. Your pursuers are stupid and would be easy to avoid if it wasn't so difficult to move - to get on to a different path you must press up or down with left or right and be in exactly the right position. The rocks are accurate so they're difficult to avoid.

Graphics are excellent. Score and lives left are displayed on a tablet of stone, in keeping with the prehistoric scenario. The game starts with an excellent title screen and unbelievable sound. The keys can be redefined, or you can use a wide variety of joysticks.

Unfortunately, Ugh!'s lasting appeal is questionable because the 'maze' is tiny and there only appears to be one single display.
