Or rather more accurately, Bill And Ted's rather tedious waddle around some particularly uninspiring landscapes in-search-of-nothing-in-particular adventure.

What a let down this is. Given a licence with a reputation like this, a brilliant game could have been produced - complete with radical samples - but no, what you get is a dreadfully dreary affair. If Blue Lightning's anything like Monte Carlo, then this is akin to Newport Pagnell. (And Blue Lightning is like Monte Carlo, incidentally. Strange but true.)

The actual cartridge is based more on the cartoon of the film than the film itself. You've got to toddle around timezones picking up useful objects and avoiding nasties which definitely have something against you and aren't afraid to show it. And that's it.

Bill And Ted is completely devoid of any long-term interest. It is dull, insipid and lacklustre. The graphics are bland, the sound is grey and the gameplay is utterly, completely and totally lacking.

If you only destroy one game in your life by stabbing it repeatedly with the serious end of a sharp cutlass, make it this one. 'Nuff said.
