I've played better versions of this game from listings published free in magazines, and wouldn't consider buying Blockbuster when there are so many more responsive programs available. Read Review
Micro Power, masters of the multi-coloured moving screen, never fail to live up to their reputation as quality games writers and this one is particularly nice. Read Review
An enjoyable variation of the arcade game Q*Bert. The response time is a little slow, but this problem can be overcome if you plan ahead. Read Review
Nice graphics - even if a little hazy - but dull sound. Read Review
The Elixir of Life has been promised to whoever can accomplish a difficult task set by the Leprechauns. Harvey, a naive young rabbit, has accepted that challenge. The peace of the unspoilt Irish countryside is shattered as the rabbit sets about his task pursued by a deadly band of predators.
Bounce Harvey onto every rock on the Giant's Causeway while avoiding Reynard the cunning fox, the cascading balls, and the noxious guano dropped by the albatross flying overhead. Escape the fox by jumping onto one of the spinning discs. You will be magically flown to the top of the causeway while the fox plummets to his death.
Bonus points can be earned by jumping on the mischievous little creatures which leave dirty footprints behind (see the photograph above) - but only the red ones.
On higher levels you will have to jump onto each rock twice - made all the more difficult as a squirrel keeps turning them back to their original colour.
