Using a variety of joysticks or the keyboard, you navigate Dr. Frank around various floors collecting bits of body in the correct order, and these are transferred to an animating machine. When you've got the lot and reached the switch, the monster comes to life and you enter the next screen.

This has a different format where your task if to dodge the various animated crabs, lobsters and sheels to reach the next sheet, where you have to assemble the next monster.

The graphics are excellent, particularly Dr. Frank, as he slips and slides on various patches of ice which occasionally appear. In fact, these animated graphics are superior to Manic Miner, which it strongly resembles, but the plot is better.

There is an incredible variety; not only does the ice slow your progress, but you also have to contend with electric shocks which produce startling effects.

The author has limited areas from which you can jump, so you need a good sense of timing, and a logical approach to each sheet. Very impressive, addictive and enjoyable; it even exercises your brain!
