Jack has been captured by the evil warlord Nogrob. You have to collect fuel pods from one side of the garage and return to the other side to refuel the waiting starship. Just to add excitement, Jack has to avoid nasty space Googjies and finally, yes, you've guessed, prepare yourself, it's... Wilfred the hideous Yugg monster. To add to this impossible task, the sides of each ledge are live. Touching them will cause Jack to plummet to his death.

Is this game difficult? You're not kidding. After plenty of practice I finally got the hang of moving Jack around. Now, I'm starting to play the game. If you like challenges you'll like this. Presentation is of the high standard we have come to expect from Program Power. However, you must prepare yourself for the pictures of the terrible alien creatures, such as Wilfred.

This game takes a lot of getting used to, but it's worth the trouble. Possibly not very original, I think new ideas are getting few and far between. Still, I'm not trying to put anyone off.
