First release from new budget software house Top Ten and an interesting beginning. Written by Philip Watts and Tim Bateman, the game resembles Labyrinth in its general playing style, although the graphics and plot are a lot more interesting.

Getting past the usual dire scenario, the game simply involves exploring a vast warehouse of rooms (get mapping!), shooting and avoiding nasties, whilst trying to find two objects each for six customers. Scrolls located around the game detail what each customer requires and some objects need to be found before parts of the game open up to you. Finally you must track down and kill the major baddie and then exit via a door. Nothing very unusual there, of course.

However, for a budget game this is excellent value and a lot of fun to play. Nothing is outstanding but, equally, nothing is disappointing. One to search for, especially at the price.

And watch these two programmers - I have a feeling that they are just starting to flex their coding muscles!
