We've had every "Dizzy" game under the sun (Leprosy Colony Dizzy is next up, apparently) and now Zeppelin are evidently hoping that people are going to warm to their new character, Blinky.

Blinky is a ghost stuck on the Titanic, who has to collect, er, things to stop old what's-his-name before he can destroy the world. Actually, ignore all that. All you need to know is that you should be shooting the baddies, jumping around the deck and collecting goodies. Objects have to be collected to solve puzzles to let you progress to let you shoot baddies to...

Yes, it's bland, unoriginal and very silly, but it's put together well. The graphics are nicely drawn: big, bright colours, good thick lines around everything, and there's some plings and plomps thrown in on the sound side.

Find a small child, watch him play this and convince yourself it's quite a good game - for one with a concept originating around 1983. The box is handy for propping up your monitor.

1. Great for "the kiddies", not so great otherwise.
2. Competently done, though Codemasters will probably sue.
