CURSE OF THE FLYING PYGMIES

Let's make one thing quite clear straight away. PCN does not discriminate in any way against pygmies. Good luck to 'em, we say. Fair shakes for pygmies is our watchword.

Flying pygmies are another matter. And flying pygmies that masquerade as Portuguese Men O'War in crass low-budget software productions are beyond the pale.

There are four screens to cross to read the Diamond of Death; each is seeded with lethal obstacles, and if you hit anything stationary, that costs you a life as well. The provision of lives is generous, which is more than you can say about the provision of points of interest in this game.

Enough said.
