This is a graphic adventure game that is in some ways similar to Touchstone, also from Microdeal. The initial display shows you some of the evil creatures you may meet on your way round the game as you attempt to collect a quantity of treasures.

There are many different locations in which this game is played; the difference is that the locations are not reached by travelling logically from one to the next, but by entering the time portals in the second frame and progressing through different mazes. You have a laser with which to protect yourself against the nasty things that live in the maze, but you are also racing against the clock to reach a key hidden somewhere in a tunnel that leads you back to the start with the treasure.

Playing the game reminded me a little of Jet Set Willy for the Spectrum, although each location takes up more than a whole screen, and scrolls neatly to the left or right according to your movements. Each time the game is played, you pick up more ideas on how to reach the keys and treasures in less time, and manage to explore more places.

This game involves many skills, not just fast joystick fingers, and should appeal to a wide range of users.
