Highrise Harry

Crash

Producer: Blaby, 48K £5.50 One of the most origiinal painter games. Harry must rustproof loads and loads of girders but he's being chased by the rustbugs. As in a Kong-type game, Harry's only way of avoiding the bugs is to jump over them, but he must paint every inch of the girder before he can paint another on the same screen. Mean! Three screens including slides and lifts. Uses cursor keys, joystick: Kempston, AGF or Protek. Highly addictive and good value.

C&VG (Computer & Video Games)

SIX OF THE BEST FROM ARCADES Six new hi-res colour graphics games are lust out for the Spectrum from Blaby. The first is Killer Kong a version of the arcade favourite. It includes two hi-res screens with the usual features. You may also collect extra points by jumping up and snatching hamburgers! Next comes a game called High Rise Harry (48K). You are Harry and you have the job of rust-proofing iron girders that are patrolled by Rust Bugs. It includes three different screens and levels. Barmy Burgers is the title of the third game, a version of a C&VG favourite, Burger Time. The object of the game is to guide your Chef across all the ingredients to make up a super half pounder burger before the two sausages or fried egg catch you! You do have a helpful weapon - five sprinkles of pepper - which immobilises the furious food chasers. In Do Do you have to avoid getting stung by the Snow Bees. Sounds like Pengo to me - another C&VG favourite. You, the Penguin, slide ice blocks at the Snow Bees, but watch out they have long sharp stings which can shatter the ice. You carry an ace under your wing, as you can electrify the side walls and kill any bees which happen to be lurking on it. Right what's next? Lunar Lander?... not quite. Shuttle is the name of the game and the object is to guide your Shuttle-craft down to the surface of the planet Wexon and rescue the stranded patrol who's space ship has landed there. This must be done without colliding into the asteroid belt. Your mission ends when all of the stranded patrol have been rescued! Last, but not least, comes Confusion. You are a pilot of a spacecraft lost in a maze of corridors in space (naturally!) Your object is to thrust up and down the centre of the corridors turning and shooting opposing ships which would otherwise collide and kill you. You can obtain an extra bonus by entering an energy alley and collecting the pod, but get out as quickly as possible or you will be trapped by deadly missiles. All six games are available for the 48K Spectrum at £5.95 each from Leicester-based Blaby.
