Did you realise that the weather is all controlled from Cloud 99, where, currently, Jack Frost has gone berserk, and messed it all up? After a strange dream, you awake in bed, to find your bedroom bathed in a bright light, and a voice calling your name.

After gathering up anything useful you find lying around the house (well, adventurers always do, don't they?) you pop outside to see what on earth is going on. There, hanging above your garden, is a bright white cloud, with a ladder suspended from it. You hop on the bottom ring, and climb up.

Soon you arrive outside the gates of Cloud City, and once inside, your task is to put things right. The weather is controlled in a series of specialist rooms, like the Hall of Mists, Sun Square and Snow Hall. But all is not well, and alas, the hammers and drums in Thunder Hall lie quiet.

This is a light-hearted adventure that is not too deep, not too difficult, and is fun to play. Written with the Professional Adventure Writing utility, the game supports speech to characters as well as full sentence input, plus a RAMSAVE option.

The two separate versions (48K and 128K) come on the same tape. The 48K version is text only, but the 128K has some attractive graphics, more detailed descriptions, and more objects hidden, rather than just lying around.

A recommendable budget adventure, that is a lot better than many commercial adventures available for the same price.
