An excellent game, far ahead of Jet Set Willy or the plethora of platformers released around this period.
This game was also insanely tricky.
The premise is fairly simple - perform simple tasks in the Chip Factory (which always involve hitting two switches in the same room.) However, not every switch is accessible from one section of a room, and not all rooms are accessible from the start - completing tasks opens up new areas, and in turn new tasks to complete.
Graphically excellent for it's time, with lots of variation and imagination in the room design. The music wasn't too bad either, and even the loading scheme was brilliantly done.
Easily a 5, and a classic Spectrum platformer, only topped by it's 128k equivalent - Technician Ted: The Megamix - but that's for another review...!
Thoroughly agree with the last reviewer - a Spectrum game I come back to time and time again.
Every event was perfectly replicated within the confines of our beloved black beermat; the sound was spot-on and the graphics some of the finest in any sports game of the era. 'Joffa' Smith wrote some classics, but this is pretty much top of the list. Easiest 5/5 you'll see on this website!
