A pretty basic, pick-up and drop arcade adventure. If that is what you're looking for, fine. If not, don't be blinded by the name and screen shots. Read Review

The graphics are excellent - especially on the Amstrad - and the gameplay clever and absorbing... Go on, blow a fuse over Short Circuit. Read Review
