A superb game in which you control a walking, jumping and, if you're not too careful, falling figure through waterfalls, across pits, over spiders, etc.

Excellent playability and multi-level structure, in which all is never quite revealed, kept me gued to the keyboard for many hours.

Initially, I thought that swinging across the pit on a rope was totally impossible (and when you've got on the rope - gettin off is a whole new ball game) but your intrepid reviewer did it in the end, only to be confronted by those 'orrible leg-gnashing spiders.

As you progress up the levels, the hazards combine in new and more terrible ways.

I got to the lethal combination of pygmies, waterfalls, spiders and arrows and was doing quite nicely until an arrow punctured my cranium from behind. Ah well!
