This game reminds me a little of the arcader Mr. Do, except that you play a bulldozer instead of a pixie. The fact that I have played Mr. Do in the arcades helped enormously since absolutely no playing instructions were supplied with the game.

The idea is to create tunnels with your bulldozer and hide from the ferocious foremen running about in these tunnels.

When a foreman comes too close for comfort you can fire a block of concrete at him - definitely not good for labour relations, though. Placed around the screen are concrete slabs and these can be consumed for points, but the really big score comes when you tunnel a hole under an apple causing the apple to fall on a foreman.

Once all the foremen have been cleared, a new screen is created along with more maniac management to pursue you.

Once I understood it, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The graphics are mediocre and movement is a little jerky, but this is more than made up b excellent use of sound with no less than three catchy tunes thrown in for good measure. Squashing a foreman with an apple results in an explosion of sound - all on my little Spectrum.
