Godzilla And The Martians

This strangely-titled game is in fact a thinly-veiled version of Donkey Kong.

The scenario this time puts Godzilla - beautiful heroine, but with a purple face - as the top of the familiar series of ladders and platforms.

She is guarded there by a dinosaur - no, I don't know why either! - while the usual barrels have become most unusual Martians.

Otherwise, though, the game remains the same. The usual controls are there, and are reasonably easy to use, but the game soon becomes very easy to master despite the annoying feature of only having one life.

It is when you realise that there is only one screen to the game that the fun begins to pall, and boredom sets in. Although you are told that you have limited oxygen, I found it quite impossible to actually run out!

The colours are good, and the animation fair although the little man moves a little jerkily.

The sound is quite cute, but the speed of the program fails to keep excitement going.
