Fantasia Diamond

Quest Adventure fans will be delighted to learn that Hewson have now launched Kim Topley's second game - Fantasia Diamond.

Hewson told me that this game is as good as anything on the market so I thought I'd better take a look just to see whether it was true or not.

The family heirloom from which the game takes its name has been stolen and taken to the fortress across the river. It's your job to get it back and also to rescue Boris the Masterspy imprisoned on a previous bid to regain the diamond.

The game features a split-screen graphics and text system. The pretty pictures are certainly - but as good as The Hobbit? I'm sorry, Hewson, not by half.

I liked Fantasia Diamond - it struck just the right level of difficulty for me. It is tough - but not so tough that I got the impression I would never solve it in a month of Sundays which was very encouraging.

A well thought out and well executed adventure - in the shops now at £7.95.
