Dare Devil Dennis

Dennis is a rather active stuntman, whose aim in life is to make as much money from the movies as possible. Each stunt he performs earns him big money, but there are several risks that have to be taken.

There are three different scenes. The first requires Dennis to ride a motorbike, leaping over houses and engaging in other dangerous pursuits. Among the stunts in the second scene, he has to jump a light-house with a wetbike, and in the third, his stunts are all performed on skis.

The game has smooth, fast graphics and uses only thirty multicoloured 'sprite' characters. It has an interrupt-driven sound routine, so that you have constant music while loading. There are also six skill levels to choose from, and each level has six intermediate leels, making thirty-six in all.

The only reason that this game gets three stars instead of four is that a few minor programming bugs still remain, occasionally spoiling your enjoyment of the game.
