And I may as well look at this one next since it's the only other game written by Mindstone and Krakatoa 2012 author John Pitcher. This too is from Sinclair User and thankfully a likely non-working second version does not exist, thought I began the worse when this game took its time to run, but run it did and now I want to run, run away as fast as I can, but alas I must continue so on we go. It plays similar to Krakatoa where instead of rescuing islanders and returning them to your ship you are rescuing canisters and returning them to your ship. However, this is a far better game than Krakatoa, the controls are nice, the gameplay is much more straightforward and the gameplay is adequate and only gets really difficult as you progress rather than immediately after starting the game. Perfectly acceptable, I'm more than happy with that one and compared to Krakatoa 2012 it gets a mark of 12 because it is leaps and bounds ahead of it.
