3D Graphics seem to be the vogue among the smaller software houses while the larger ones are concentration on animation. Usually 3D games have great visual impact but are much less addictive, as much of the program is concerned with display rather than with playability. Unfortunately, Zigzag is no exception.

This is a 3D maze game consisting of six sectors: you must rid each sector of the Scarabaqs - peculiar limpet-like things with legs - before you can enter the next one. You must watch out for the Hoverdroids who will zap your energy. That's all there is to it.

Your time is spent either searching endless corridors or chasing a Scarabaq into a blind alley. There's no alien or missile dodging like most arcade games. The only danger is the loss of energy, but you will be totally bored before then.

The inlay card boasts a special rapid loading system: that ought to fool the pirates for a while.

It's a boring game even if the graphics are nice.
