Aimed fairly and squarely at the more youthful among us, Michael's Big Adventure is a big colourful game that uses the 'Talespin' system. Everything in it is mouse-controlled - you just have to click on the screen and up pops a little text box with your limited range of options. There are also a good few samples thrown in which liven things up a bit.

Unfortunately, the graphics look as if they've been drawn by the age group the game's aimed at - they're big, bold and pretty awful. The biggest downer of Talespin games is the speed - each screen is loaded separately from disk which slows things down to a crawl. Gripes aside, this Big Adventure should provide an hour or three of entertainment. Let's just hope it doesn't lead to copycat burglaries by the under eights.
