Okay, so CF might seem to have turned into the Apex fan club just lately, what with the 13-page complete Creatures 2 solution last issue, and our regular Mayhem In Monsterland feature, but there's a perfectly good reason. No, we're not taking backhanders from the Rowlands boys! Even though my old, money-grabbing self might have considered such a thing, Trenton would never allow such an insidious practice to take place. And my new, philanthropic self would find it impossible to even contemplate such a thing.

No, the reason we rave is because those Apex lads undeniably come up with goods every time. If you want proof just check out the original Creatures - now it's out on budget, there's no excuse for not owning it.

It's the ultimate platform blob-'em-up for the C64. Basically, you just control the blobby Clyde (the only hero with halitosis) as he wanders around various blobbly levels firing blobby bullets at blobby nasties. You can also collect magic potions that the local witch will mix up to give you special, even blobbier weapons. Sounds simple, but it ain't. What it is, is great fun. Utterly absorbing, in fact. And it looks amazing - definitely some of the best graphics ever seen on an 8-bit. If looks could kill, Creatures would be a convicted murderer with a 2,000 year jail sentence.

No C64 should be without one.
