This is a neat budget offering from Mastertronic. Instead of wasting human resources on repairing circuit boards, the powers that be have designed a nifty solder robot with a cyber brain to undertake all of the hard labour.

First of all though, these robots have to be trained, and that's where you come in.

As a solder robot trainer you have to guide the brain, in the form of a mouse, around a printed circuit board, repairing breaks in the wiring as you go, to allow the robot to get used to the pro- cedures. To make matters worse, there is the usual host of bugaboos, whose sole aim is to make your day just that little bit more problematic by breaking wires and sapping your energy.

Use the red cross stations to pick up solder and repair the board within the set time and you're laughing. If not, your mouse dies - tough cheese.
