It has taken the BBC a long time to realise that its computer is being used for the playing of arcade games.

This is the BBC's first truly arcade release and I don't think they've got it right yet. This is a mediocre game that wouldn't have been published by the big producers at all.

The aim is to cause havoc in the pantry and you play a rather small pink mouse. The pantry comprises a number of blue shelves that occasionally have gaps that you can jump or fall through.

This house has creatures that try to move the mouse in his destructive behaviour. This involves birds, then frogs, cats and bats. All have their own patterns of behaviour that make them particularly difficult to avoid.

The graphical animals are very good but the various bits of crockery that fall off the shelves can only be described as rather boring and even shapeless.

What cannot be avoided is the complete boredom you tend to feel, caused by the lack of variety in the game.
