As Red Jack the notorious duck Pirate King (the what!!??) the most stylish waterfowl in Fandonia, you find yourself trapped in the Palace dungeons having failed to raid the Palace Treasury.

Your mission is to survive, collect wealth and... scramble eggs! Survive being the operative word.

All is revealed as you battle your way through the sixteen dungeon levels, each infested with its own particular variety of weird and wonderful creatures. Particularly nasty are the carnivorous prawns and the vampire rabbits, so watch out for those.

To succeed in your task you must jump onto the scattered Terraductile eggs avoiding the chasers and their cooking pots or you could end up on the dinner menu! If you fail to scramble enough eggs in the allotted time, the Terraductile will come and get you anyway - so you just can't win....

Fortunately for Red Jack he has a few tricks up his sleeve, and although the flagstones might crumble beneath his feet at will, he can walk through walls and even make the dungeon floor move beneath his feet! I found this a most absorbing and addictive game once you have got the hang of moving the flagstones beneath Red Jack, and at first this will probably be only in the nick of time! However, with a little practice it is possible to progress onto higher levels.

There are nine levels of playing difficulty in which there are an ever increasing number of eggs to scramble. It appears to be almost impossible to scramble all nine eggs on level 17 so leave this level until you are quite adept at the game unless you really are masochistic...

It is one of the few games with a demonstration mode which in this case certainly lets you see what you are letting yourself in for... I certainly recommend it for lasting appeal and playability.
