Does the title remind you of someone? Does the description "head of an electronics conglomerate" confirm that idea? Here we have a game featuring Uncle Claude himself; how appropriate that this is for an Acorn machine.

This is a game of worker against boss, capitalism against socialism but it really is an arcade style game too. You are Micro Micky or Electro Freddy, depending whether you read the cover or the screen and your job is to ship as many goods out of the factory as possible, by pushing them onto the conveyor belt before he catches you.

The reason for all this activity is that Uncle Claude had decided to put up prices to get more profit and this may lead to job losses.

I cannot really enthuse about this game because so much of it is old hat; even the main character is a direct copy from another game by the same author. I would also like to be able to select the level I start on, a glaring omission in a slightly above average game.
