Vulcan Software - £12.99 - AGA

An intriguing puzzle game with 60 levels containing locked doors, conveyor belts, lifts, fire, spikes, ice, moving blocks and lots of other devices to help or hinder. You have to protect your baby Bograts as they aimlessly wander around, and try to herd them towards the exit.

With 60 levels to contend with this is a game that will take you a while to complete. The game starts to get pretty tricky after only five or six levels. However the 'learning curve' seems to be about right, so it's perciverance and patience that will help here. It's just as well that you can load and save games as you need them, without this feature (which some games leave out to increase the difficulty factor) you would be visiting the early levels time and time again.

If you don't then you wont be able to progress. To increase your score there are bonus items, and also extra bombs to be had. You'll need those bombs to clear the path in some places.

There are also lift shafts, conveyor belts, spikes,fire hazards, ice, teleporters, fungus, bridges and more to be negotiated and with datadisks to be released in the future.. This is one of the few Vulcan games that is AGA only, not that anyone can complain, they've done more than enough to support the older machines!

I liked this, nice graphics in the usual Vulcan style. Adequate sound effects. Good gameplay if you like puzzlers. At the normal low price range of all of Vulcans stuff, it's well worth having.
