This is a game whose type has a proven pedigree involving the painting in of boxes on a grid whilst running the gauntlet. In this one the gauntlet can be anything from spear carrying natives to cannibalistic teddy bears.

Deviations in this version include making the assassins jump then running past them and role playing on the part of the painter from a normal paint roller to an abnormal gorilla. Points are awarded for consuming articles along the way and I assume for completing all four sides of a box on later screens. I have to assume because I could not stay alive long enough to discover what I was supposed to do on these later screens and the instructions gave little help.

With joystick or keyboard use, good quality graphics and with perseverance this game may well grow on you but on me I'm afraid it died.

I find difficulty in loading Superior Software - despite four different recorders the loading of this and others tend to make them adventure games before I begin.
