Ugh!

Dragon 32

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #44

This is an original and highly stimulating game with an excellent storyline too.

You are Ugh!, a caveman who decides to lay up some store for the winter by stealing some Pterodactyl eggs.

All goes well until Pterry himself sees you and starts to drop rocks on you from a great height.

Ugh!

As if this wasn't enough, he calls in his mate Rex (yes, a large carnivorous dinosaur) who takes chase also.

Thus the scene is set for the epic battle of strategy and skill with only a flint spear to defend yourself.

The screen appearance is very pleasant and well detailed, including several dinosaur skeletons and the paths you may follow clearly shown.

The response is fast and accurate on both key and joystick, though I prefer the stick.

If you manage to clear a sheet then another is drawn with even more contorted paths than the last one and the battle continues. This means the game has good variety and added interest.
