This game follows the well-worn footsteps (some would say furrows) of Manic Miner and Blagger. Here you are, a secret agent in the guise of a power worker engaged in the hyper exciting (some would say routine) task of shutting down 18 generating stations.

This you do by throwing switches, making deft jumps, scuttling up and down ladders and avoiding no-go areas as you wend your way to each exit. Great fun if you've been lost in the Gobi desert for the last eighteen months but with few surprises for old stalwarts.

The graphics are purely functional and in some places very faint on the average domestic TV. There's no way I would take the time to work through all the screens, but if there's a yawning gap in your library, you could well consider this a good bet, especially if you've had no practice at all avoiding the typical hazards unleashed by the security system.

At its budget price, it might be worth considering if you don't really want anything special for a platform game, but don't bother buying if you want "the real thing". Pay the extra instead.
