I have to admit that, while the Cuthbert series is the flagship of this particular software house, I was less than impressed by another in the series. This one is superb, however, and worthy of high praise. In particular, the sound is very good. I have only previously heard the Dragon sound as organ-like as this through a synthesiser program. Graphics are also very good, flicker-free and very fast.

Here, the mine has been taken over by Moronians and, in order to escape, you have to jump your way to the exit avoiding ore-carrying trucks which will knock you back a level if they hit you. This seems quite a mild penalty when compared to what happens to hapless frogs in their game, but it is all too easy to get knocked into another truck and then find yourself in the fires of hell at the bottom. There is also the ladder-climbing demon who, if he gets onto your level, throws a fire ball and sends you flaming into the pit.

A good value program with plenty of interest and action.
