Cuthbert In Space

After the jungle and Walkabout, Cuthbert finds himself ravaging Moronians. Everyone has to earn a living I suppose.

As the game starts, Cuthbert's space craft, which would probably be more at home in a carnival procession, materialises Tardis-style at the bottom of the screen. The cover slides back, revealing Cuthbert and the somewhat ludicrous message 'arriving on Vyxelt'. The screen is invaded by Catherine Wheels, or that's what they look like, and Cuthbert has to destroy/avoid these while picking up fuel pods. As soon as he gets all the fuel pods he does a spot of looting before being dragged off to another planet that looks exactly the same as the previous one, with a different but equally stupid name.

It's OK, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Not the sort of thing I'd pay money for.
