Review:

Having a black and white main display has two major consequences; the animation is extremely smooth with sensitive controls and quick screen flipping - the downside being that your character blends almost completely into the far too busy background.

The large characters also make for a rather limited playing area, meaning that most of the gameplay is simply following the path to get a key or money.

It does at least have a nice theme tune and there are the occasional extras such as large bad guys that pop up from time to time.
