In this game by David and Bryan Lewis you play the star role — as Dracula Scenario: Zombie Island, where you, as Dracula, are luring the hapless creatures into bottomless pits so that you escape capture and death. The game starts with three zombies on-screen, break-dancing while they hunt you down. You use the numeric keypad to move Dracula, and as you clear a screen, an extra zombie appears. Alternatively, if you die, there is a zombie less. The idea is to fight and beat an eight-zombie screen and this is rewarded with a cavalcade of colour and sound. The pits to lure them into are placed randomly on-screen, both in number and location. There is also an exit blue door around the perimeter of the screen. This escape door brings you to a new room, but with the same number of zombies that were on the original screen. The strength of this game is its simplicity for children and its wonderful stereo sounds. Boink, drop, splash, eat, tear and step all accompany the breakdancing, out of sync zombies. In the background you'll hear Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King. Home Computing Weekly #113 |
