YOU'LL BE GRIPPING THE EDGE OF YOUR COMPUTER.. AS YOU ATTEMPT TO CONQUER EPYX'S.. FINAL ASSAULT.
Take the challenge to conquer the perils of nature's unknown... you're at the foot of one of the world's highest mountains. Snow covered slopes, dangerous crevasses, sheer glaciers and a jagged rockface await you as you attempt on of the most gruelling sports ever created.
Pack your rucksack with climbing gear and food supplies, practise on the training slopes and then decide which of the six treacherous trails to tackle. You'll be tested to the limit by the challenges in terrain, weather and your 'health'.
Take note of the advice of your safety guide and never underestimate the challenge that lies ahead of you as you could fall thousands of feet or freeze to death in the sub zero temperatures.

With some excellent graphics and a control system that simulates using a mouse, this is a highly polished game.There are strong management aspects as you can tailor your equipment, which route to take and when to set off. Although the limitations of the Spectrum are obvious, this is a brave attempt at trying something different and pushing the system.
