Ever get the feeling you should never have got out of bed? I start playing this adventure and before I even go anywhere, I find out I've been cursed with the face of a frog. Come on you lot. I've always been told that I resemble a rather handsome ferret. The point of this game is far from cosmic - you have to find the evil sorcerer in order to restore your good looks. Vanity of vanities!

A pleasant enough pastime though, the graphics are adequate but not mind-blowing, the only annoyance is you have to enter INVENTORY in full. The nasties are mostly on a classical theme: gorgons, basilisks and so forth, so a knowledge of myth may be helpful. Positive Image deserve credit for checking the player's gender at the start of the game. Truly, these are people of elevated consciousness.

All right, as long as you don't mind being seen in public looking like an amphibian.
