Bounty Bob Strikes Back

I'm afraid that we only got a review copy of this game and the aim and action was not clearly stated, although they claim it compares favourably with the C64 version.

It is a platform game in which it appears that you have to collect various objects within a time limit, each time you get an object the nasties change from yellow to green for a short time and can be eaten/killed by your character.

Loads of screens, most of which are well designed and present a challenge, some have a nice 3D perspective effect.

I must admit I found the game to be a little inconsistent in that I could clear some screens with ease and others were a real headache, they did not seem to progress logically. Graphics and animation were very good, Bounty Bob's demise is quite interesting, and the high score hall of fame routine is almost worth playing on its own.

Colourful, enjoyable, I just wish I knew what I was supposed to be doing!
