Freddy And The Spiders From Mars
--------------------------------
In this game Freddy is a window cleaner with an intense dread of spiders. He's been to his doctor and to innumerable specialists who cannot cure his condition. Things are so bad he now has a recurring nightmare, concerning a Martian spider (a particularly huge, hungry, nasty-looking variety of Freddy's favourite phobia), a collection of balloons, and his favourite hobby, archery.

Frequently he wakes up bathed in sweat after dreaming of being stranded on his ladder equipped, not with his usual bucket of dirty water and a wash leather, but with a supply of arrows. He has been trying desperately to burst balloons which, if allowed to reach the spider's cage above his head, unlock the doors which imprison the beast.

Help Freddy burst the balloons, or he'll come to a gruesome end as the spider's breakfast!

Points are awarded for each balloon Freddy bursts. But bursting the lot doesn't bring relief — Freddy's torture continues at a higher level, with faster moving balloons. If he lets through three balloons, the Martian spider is released.
