1985 Mastertronic (UK)
by Robert Sansom

If it werent for the clumsy graphics I think this game could have gone farther.
The moving/flying routine makes the game very addictive, at least for me. And hard too. In fact this game is not for the weak hearted. The action happens very fast and some aliens/nasties although quite annoyingly drawn, are very efficient in killing you.
The game goal is very simple, collect five keys, one of which is scattered in three pieces, making an overall of seven object to collect and then escape planet Doom. Also remember to collect the fuel bottles.
A nice touch is the screen editor, but only to remove unwanted characters, for example the nasties. Something good specially because the game is incredible hard.
If you like this sort of games and have leopard fast reflexes you will enjoy this one.

A below average platform and collect-em-up title with graphics looking worse than earlier similar offerings like Jet Set Willy or Technician Ted, and nothing of the finesse of such games.

Even the editor is of not much use, since it only allows you to change the position of the nasties, not to redesign the screens altogether.

Unremarkable.

A pretty decent platformer with the distinctive touch of having a flying astronaut as main character and running at a very fast path . a mixture between Jet Pac and Jet Set Willy .

Colorful and playable but not as much as other similar entries like Manic Miner , Jet Set Willy , etc.

The sound fx of the astronaut as he flies around is really annoying -he sounds as disgusting as a fatted fly almost- ...

Not totally bad but not good either .

It currently has a good average on WoS, and it's got a 8/10 in Your Sinclair [58% from Crash, anyway], but I think it's a pretty terrible maze game/dodge'em up.
1,5/5

It's another game ripped off by Harry Price, I know this because I was given the Price version I Ain't Got Nobody presented to me at random, but I'll never review his copycat games and so I'm reviewing the original game instead. So Harry Price's games have one thing in common, they're all stolen from original games, and all the original games I've covered so far have one thing in common, they've all been shit, this one though? Well it's still not that great a game but it's far better than what Eggo was supposed to be. But Dandyboy suggests in his review that this game is overrated and I feel I agree with him.
