The mighty force of Ritman and Drummond return to the bum-licking pages of SC in fine style with possibly the best 3D Isometric Arcade Adventure thing ever created. Not content with the Match Day series, they saw fit to write even more classic software to thrill us all during that balmy year of '87. A familiar front-end style greets you as you choose your game options; the bastard thing still confuses me to this day.
The way each option screen is cleared adds another slice of style to put icing on the cake. This program oozes class. You are in control of two cute creatures; one jumps quite high and the other can glide through the air (in a downward direction that is...) The aim of the game is to overcome the obstacles and puzzles to re-unite your little blokes... somewhere. The graphics are excellent and breathtaking; alot of hours was put into this game. The thing is, the gameplay is so absorbing you'll be forgiven if you don't notice them on your first few plays. Yes it's one of those 'the solution is staring you in the face' type games; annoying but a sheer pleasure nonetheless. The 128 music and sound effects again supply that extra 10% of quality so often forgotten from the vast majority of similar programs.
Load this bastard up now; you'll start to wonder why you ever reset your Speccy from the last time. (Amanda)
