If you've worn your nerve-endings to a frazzle with pacman, invading creatures and perilous adventures, perhaps you think hot-air ballooning would make a nice, quiet change. Take it from me - Up Up and Away will make you want to keep your feet firmly on the ground.

You take off with a limited amount of butane and ballast, and your aim is to fly round a circuit avoiding hazards on the way. These range from nasty little boys with slingshots, updraughts and downdraughts, thunderstorms, the local Flying School for the Shortsighted, and even incontinent pigeons!

The graphics are among the best I've ever seen, and the five levels of difficulty will provide a long-lasting challenge.
