Drain Mania is all about eliminating the horrible bugs, viruses, and other nasties that roam the drains! You control a little man whose task is to rid the underworld of these pests.

Moving the man is a little difficult to get used to as he has a momentum of his own, and does not always respond immediately to changes of direction.

Drain Mania is a multi-level game with a nice interrupt-driven tune which plays while the game is being loaded. There are instructions within the game, and you are allowed to define your own keys. Apart from these touches, the rest of the game is fairly standard.

The scenario is a set of platforms with drain pipes at the top and bottom of the screen. You have to 'skate' about the screen, collecting money dropped down the drain while hitting the bugs as they lethargically make their way from top to bottom. After the second screen there is a bonus sheet with lots of money to be collected in a set time.

That description really says it all. This is not one of Icon's better games, it lacks excitement and challenge, and after a few goes has little more to offer even the most avid games player.
