 
Barrels This is a conversion of a game released by Quicksilva for almost every machine that was around at the time. It is more of a logic testing game than one requiring quick reflexes. The object is to roll barrels down various holes in the ground so that they follow the ledges and gates and arrive in containers at the bottom. The idea is to fill the nine boxes with one barrel each, although the objectives get more complex as the game progresses. The game therefore relies on you choosing the correct hole to let your barrel off. As it hits one of the gates the gate spins to face in a different direction, causing subsequent barrels to rebound in different ways. You can scroll the ledges in an attempt to make things connect in the way you want, or if things are really hopeless you can cause an earthquake that can disturb all the gates. It's an easier game to play, or at least to get into, than it is to describe. It becomes very much a 'just one more go' or 'I'll just finish this screen' session and you could easily sit up until the small hours with it. A refreshingly original game.
