Where you can see most bad games at a glance and know not to bother with them, this little stinker from Mastertronic promises hidden depth, behind a total lack of instructions.

When trying to play the game, you'll almost get to the stage where you think you know what's going on and some random event will happen that either kills you off or throws you into a state of total uncertainty.

This is one of those legendary bad games that's so awful that it almost has a cult following.

The title sums up my mindset as I prepare to load this game. Still, it's a Mastertronic title so I'd expect something a little bit flashy.

Well, it has a loading screen at least, unfortunately nothing much seems to happen after that - I had to hit BREAK and type CONTINUE to get into the game (maybe I was just being impatient).

Pressing keys seems to make random events happen, none of which have much bearing on what happens, other than the fact I die after two minutes. It rather reminds me of Novotron 8, a comp.sys.sinclair Crap Game Competition (CSSCGC) entry from a few years back, except that was a lot more fun.

There isn’t a whole lot you can say about this game except it isn’t a game. It's a confusing horrible mess with a complete lack of basic instructions especially on how to even start the game. It currently sits on WOS' worst games list and it is completely justified. What an absolute pile of tripe.
