Wizard's Lair

This is a rather surprising offering from Bubble Bus, mainly because Bubble Bus have never produced a game of this quality before. It is rather good.

The main comparison has to be with Sabre Wulf, except that this game is much better. The screens are more complex, there are more problems, and the animation is up to an excellent standard.

The scenario features Pothole Pete, trapped in an underground cave he stumbles across the Wizard's Lair and network of underground caves, rooms and passages.

Apparently the only way to escape is to find the four pieces of the Golden Lion. This is the goal that awaits you. All the usual options are available, various joysticks and keyboard combinations and a very useful pause facility.

All in all, worthwhile and good value.
