Featured review
A very eerie game
This was one of the first games to come out for the Spectrum 48k and one of the first ones I played.
The game itself was very simple. There is a city scape, made from blocks arranged in a '3D' isometric view.
The city is inhabited by ants bigger than humans, and it is your job to rescue your partner from the city without getting eaten by the ants.
Each level your partner would be a bit further in the city and harder to get to. Once you had got her (or him!) you then had to escort them back to the city entrance.
Like all games of that time, it was very simple. It was also almost entirely black and white, the human figures being not much more than stick men.
Still, back then it was pushing the technology to the limit I'm sure! And the city was strangely haunting and desolate and I still remember the game very clearly.
