Repton 2 is a follow up to the hugely successful Repton, reviewed in Vol. 4 No. 4. Superior claim that Repton 2 is "more than just a sequel, a new experience" and I must say that I agree with them.

The object is once again to roam the caverns in search of diamonds, but this time you must also collect pieces of a jigsaw puzzle in order to complete the game. Even the earth sections have to be collected, which means that in all you must collect 4744 earth sections, 1634 diamonds, 42 jigsaw pieces, kill all 18 monsters, use all of the 64 transporters, and collect the 'finish character'.

The game is certainly difficult, and would need a very long time to complete. As with Repton, you are confronted by a small section of the cavern and a funny-looking creature which represents yourself. You can move the creature in one of four directions, and the whole screen scrolls smoothly as you do so.

A competition has been set for any who can complete Repton 2. You can win a T-shirt and £200. Anyone who completes Repton 2 certainly deserves the £200! If you fancy a tough challenge, then buy this game.
