Driller was the first game to feature the Freescape system of creating solid 3D game environments. Here, one of the moons orbiting the planet Evath is rapidly fling with gas, which wil soon cause it to explode. When it does, Evath will be thrown out of orbit killing its population. You must explore the moon's eighteen sectors to find the gas centres, and set up drilling rigs to release the dangerous gas.

The 3D runs horribly slowly, but if you can live with this problem (and you do get used to it), there's a wealth of excellent features and stunning visuals to get to grips with.

These Freescape games are not everyone's cup of tea, but as my Mother Edith says: "One man's meat is another man's two-veg..." or something like that. It's slow, but then still waters run deep and there's certainly enough depth here to turn you into a scuba diver.
