This game kept us amused late one night earlier this year as we relaxed having just got The Amstrad User to the printer. It's one of those frustrating games that having been beaten once, you have to have another go ... and another ... and another ... The rules are quite simple; all that is required is to clear the screen of gremlins before they reach the pool. If you run into one it eats you and if you fall into the pool you also lose a life. Your defence is a gun and limitless supply of bullets. Of course, there always has to be a catch. If any Gremlin reaches the pool, the number of Gremlins doubles. You see they thrive in water, so when it rains they double again. Unfortunately it rains quite a bit. Be careful, you only have three lives! TAU |
