Any fool can leap Blob round the screens of this game, collecting objects and zapping nasties but nobody seems to have considered it important enough to tell the poor old player just what you're supposed to do! Read Review
Recommended to anyone who enjoys an exploring/zapping combination game. Read Review
The graphics are pretty good, nifty with smooth animation. The maze design reminds me of Repton, with gravity. The sound is lively too. Read Review

This C&VG "Game Of The Month" and "Crash Smash" now available on the BBC Micro is a brilliant adventure over 500 different screens.
Word has just reached Earth that an unstable planet is emerging from a black hole somewhere at the edge of the galaxy. If the core of this planet is not rebuilt, it will implode - causing the whole universe to go "Ka Boomf!" - Strewth a Starquake...
The Bio-logically operated being is chosen for this ultra-dangerous mission - but why Blob? "Because of his mind-blowing hybrid capabilities? Of the artificial intellect of his anti-brain? Nope - 'cause all the other guys have pranged their spaceships.
So Blob sets off for outer space in his trusty ship with just a flightboard computer and a galaxy A-Z for company. Gulp! Is he gonna succeed? Will he even get there? Or will the universe and and Blob go blip?
Gosharooties who knows? But all these and many more answers must be questioned before it's too late!!
