I was one of those mugs who purchased an original copy of this game on the day of its release; I only purchased it for the Rob Hubbard tune! I remember loading it up and thinking that I had just wasted £9.99. We live and learn.

Anyway, Matt was good enough to play through the game, and by pure chance, stumble upon the ending ...

MATT: Well, bang goes my theory that because an effort was made with a game intro, there would be a decent ending!

If you weren't aware, the aim of the game is to escape from a prison complex before it explodes - you play Deke, a poor bastard sentenced to be 'androsized' for treason and crimes against the 'colony'. But you're not having it. You've busted out of your cell and sabotaged the central computer - it's rigged to blow in 17 minutes and you have to escape...

A good game? No, sir, a very boring game. But it does boast a decent title screen and three cracking Hubbard tunes - I remember loading it up in the old days just to hear the title and intro tunes. It wasn't until recently that I discovered how good the in-game tune is - could never play for more than a minute before flicking the power switch so never made it past the whiny beginning.

WHAT?! The End?

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED? MATT: Completed it by pure fluke whilst in the process of mapping it (with infinite lives and time, of course)

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: MATT: I was just running along and the final screen appeared just like that - no warning, no obvious hole-in-the-wall to escape through - nuffink!

COMMENTS: MATT: Judging by the Commodore User map there are a few places to escape - I guess the challenge is to get out via the quickest route.

COMMENTS: WEB MASTER: I spent £9.99 on this game and I really wanted to think that the reward would come in the form of a game ending Hubbard tune. I, like Matt, am seriously peed off that this ending lacks near on everything that any half decent game ending should include: music, credits, animation, graphics, blah, blah, blah...

FINAL SAY: Enjoy or (as usual) not...
