If you have not bought any of the Repton games then this is definitely the best and most worthwhile. Read Review

Playing The Game

The object of the game is to complete the 40 screens by collecting all the "rewards" (i.e. Hamburgers in the American screens, fruit in the Africa screens, etc) and dodge all the "monsters" (i.e. Bandits on the America screens, tribesmen in the Africa screens, etc).

Each screen may have a maximum of four transporters which cause Repton to re-materialise in another part of the screen - but each transporter may only be used once.
