Pretty enjoyable, dispensing with a lives or password system in favour of just presenting you with each scene in turn until you win it. Read Review

The All-Important Story
The television, a remarkable piece of kit, bringing education and enlightenment to the masses. Whether a family of four from Croydon, or a hive of interdimensional spring-folk from Klaxxon 5, the idiot box is just as relevant to them now as it was in 1953, when every young blob gathered to watch Princess Splaygrove ride naked upon her thunder-rocket in colour for the first time.
And of course it's not all HDMI and LED black-stretching on the outer rim. There are many planets still reliant on bulky CRT, with Earth transmissions from 1984 only just reaching them. They're not exactly reliable sets, but they work... after a hefty whack.
And that's your job. You're a Stomper, and wherever there's a dodgy set, you'll be there to jump up and down on it until the picture comes back.
Work has been sporadic for a new months now and it was looking as though you'd need to hire yourself out as a space-hopper to get in some extra pennies, when suddenly... the solar flares hit. Every TV set, and I mean *every* set on each of the 35 planets went down. And you are the only Stomper still in the phone book.
El Stompo.
Notes
Yes, there are two tapes in your box. Each one as an A side and a B side, with two copies of El Stompo on each. Why is this?
Well it's all to do with alternative graphics. Play all four versions and see for yourself!
