Psygnosis' best games have usually been those developed by Scottish team DMA Design - and this two-fisted shoot-'em-up (first reviewed in issue 9) is no exception.

The action unfolds across four landscapes, each of which scrolls inexorably forward as you and your partner burn holes into the oncoming hordes. The more you kill, the more the cash piles up - the dough you earn is then used to purchase extra weaponry and also to allow access to later levels.

Blood Money isn't the fastest horizontally scrolling shoot-'em-up ever to hit the wonderful world of budget software, but it's certainly one of the most challenging and technically accomplished.

If you frequently find shoot-'em-ups too easy, or if you have another gamer handy to help you out, then this is well worth checking out.
