Producer: Blaby Computer Games Memory Required: 48K Retail Price: £1.99 Language: Machine code Author: Derek Lawrie Guido is a small black ravenous, carrot eating rabbit, who's sole aim in life is to eat - well carrots. Here's what you do. The screen lights up with a series of brick blocks arranged in a four high by six wide grid above a base platform. On several of the brick platforms there are carrots embedded in the platform. By jumping up on the carrot-bearing block and bouncing. Guido not only eats the carrot but also drills right through to fall down onto the block beneath. Life would, of course, be the same if it were this simple, and it isn't. There are bouncing balls, irate farmers and android hares to watch out for. The bouncing balls on screen one sail up and down the vertical gaps between the blocks, whereas the farmers walk along the horizontal ones. What with watching out for these hazards and having to pick his way carefully around in order to get to the right blocks, life can get a bit fraught, especially as by screen three you have vertical balls and horizontal farmers all at the same time. Never mind, Bright eyes. COMMENTS Control keys: Z/X left/right, J to jump, N to dig Joystick: Kempston, but hardly needed Keyboard: responsive Use of colour: quite good Graphics: reasonably sized, not over much animation although the bouncing balls work very well Skill levels: 3 Lives: 3
