Technically it's all fine with neat, fast graphics and it has pleasing sound effects but it lacks any kind of extra feature to make it stand out from the crowd. Read Review

An interesting game initially, with well-designed graphics, but it fails to sustain that interest. Read Review
Full Instructions
Introduction
It is the year 2000 AD. Using all the advanced micro-particle technology now available, Freddy Frankenstein has set about bringing to life the monster created by his great grandfather, the infamous Baron Frankenstein."
The year is 2000 AD and Freddy Frankenstein has inherited his great grandfather's castle in Bavaria. On taking possession of the estate, he discovers the location of his great grandfather's creation, the monster.
He decides to follow in his ancestor's foorsteps and revive the monster by using the advanced 21st century technology that is now available. After many weeks of sleepless nights the experiment is ready. Using a micro-particle reduction field, Freddy is going to shrink an explorer class submarine to the size of a pin head (whilst he is inside it) and inject it into the vast body of the monster in an effort to locate and correct the defects that have caused the experiment to fail in the past.
| Trachea | Destroy as many hopping frogs as possible whilst you journey down the throat. |
| Lungs | Wipe out the rampaging cigarette packets whilst avoiding the lethal carbon dioxide bubbles. |
| Heart | Guide your way carefully through to the implant, avoiding the electrical impulses and pumping heart valves. Launch a torpedo at the impant to activate the heart. |
| Stomach | Your motors are now starting to overheat and are in desperate need of some lubricating grease. Within the stomach walls, the deadly fried eggs must be avoided until you have managed to obtain six slices of greasy bacon. |
| Brain | Finally, you reach the brain. You must now neutralise the eight mutant electrons by nudging them off the delicately tuned circuit board. |
