Travel With Trashman
By New Generation
Spectrum 48K

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #95

Trashman is back with a new range of rubbish to collect! This time he travels to different parts of the world, limited only by the amount of amount he had. You can earn him more by helping him complete a task in each city. As a result, he can fly to even more exotic places!

In Paris, he must collect edible frogs; in Munich, empty beer glasses; in Jerusalem, tear-sodden tissues at the Wailing Wall; in Madrid, flowers strewn in the bullring. The snag is that in each location there are people to be avoided, be they Russian guards, waitresses, or, in the case of the bullring, an irate bull!

Graphics are super, and in 3D, although the figures are in one colour, to get round the Spectrum's hardware, the result is very impressive. Although the principle of each sheet is the same, collect the trash, avoid the people, you certainly won't get fed up with this in a hurry. For one thing, the backgrounds are too beautifully done.

The game features all the usual joystick protocols, excellent instructions, and is very addictive. Magic!
