Zorgon's Kingdom

The game is a variant of Kong: you must go through five traumatic screens of experience until you finally get a chance at a crack at the great Zorgon.

The use of high resolution colour graphics is outstanding, and sound is well handled.

On level one you climb ladders to the top of the screen while avoiding bombs. You must then, twice, step on to a shifting floor.

Part two sees you struggle on your way from the top to the bottom of the screen, by jumping from moving lift to moving lift.

After climbing a rope you must run under the Gorgoids. These mutate, and fall, when their wings turn green!

Arriving in a boat, you avoid octopuses, until they too change, and you then catch two of them.

Zorgon's Kingdom

Level three sees you running across wires, avoiding rockets in tunnels and fleeing through organ pipes.

At part four you avoid electron bolts and Web Trackers; level five is infested with Robots of Death, whilst you are digging holes and dropping bombs.

Finally, you kill the Zorgan by shooting him in the end of the nose, whilst his mouth is open.

Overall, this is a very good, tough game. Even old hands will find it totally nerve racking.
