Spooks And Spiders is another game based on the popular ladders-and-platform game theme. You control a very well animated little figure around the screen avoiding contact with the spooks, spiders and the skulls which guard the corridors. First of all, you must collect a key at the top of the screen then open all the doors in the order specified by a flashing arrow. Once all the doors have been opened, a damsel will greet you and you go onto the next level in an effort to rescue another one. There is a time limit for each screen, so you must hurry.

The graphics are very good. The characters have been carefully designed and they move smoothly, in a realistic manner. Unfortunately, the sound is a little boring. However, the general presentation of the game is well up to the usual Software Invasion standard and includes most features such as sound on/off, hall of fame and a nice title page but a freeze option and quit option should have been included as well.

There are three different levels which, when completed, get faster and faster and, overall, this above average ladders and platform game should please most people.
