His And Hero

Fort Apocalypse by any other name, the new game from Activision for Atari and Commodore systems would barely be worth mentioning if it wasn't for the hero's name.

The game itself is called Hero which is partly explained by the presence in it of the Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation squad and partly because it is the surname of one Roderick Hero. This post-Cuthbert man-of-many-parts rescues miners trapped between layers of lava, rockslides, almost anything except large numbers of policemen.

It costs £9.99 for the Commodore 64, and the Atari price has yet to be announced.
