Dirty Den

Eastenders has taken the country's TV screens by storm since it began last year, and with characters like Denis Watts, the conniving landlord it's no wonder. He's in so many different places that it's no wonder he should turn up in a computer game.

Actually, Dirty Den just happens to have the same name as this very popular character. In this case, though, our Dennis is the complete antithesis of his TV namesake.

He's chivalrous - in fact, a real gent. He's in hot pursuit of his loved one captured by a frustrated old wizard. He just has a bit of a body odour problem, OK?

Dirty Den

The object of the game is to work your way through some twenty or more screens of hectic platforms peopled by a variety of nasties until you reach the room where your lass is being held.

En route you'll have to collect the dozens of chocolates distributed all round the passageways. These you'll need to give to your greedy pig of a girlfriend when you find her. All because the lady loves Milk Tray... personally I'd rather have a Bourneville selection, but I'm spoilt.

Graphics are nice and colourful and the game plays quickly, with a fairly tough challenge that should keep you at the keyboard for a while.
