Week 10, and everyone prepare for 'yellow overload', as it's A.J.'s choice of Thundercats on the 128K Spectrum. That's three people this season who got both their games picked!

Extra weapons, bonuses and lives can be collected by hitting mushrooms and trees with your current weapon. A bonus is awarded if the level is completed within the time limit. You also get a "kill" bonus according to the number of enemies destroyed. On the special mission levels where you have to rescue a team-mate be careful as you only get one chance. If you get into a tight spot try jumping over the enemy and killing him from behind. Good luck!

The first level takes some getting used to...and after that the second level is easy by comparison.

My average life lasts about 1-2 seconds if I try to move. If I don't ever jump I can last slightly longer :-/ I don't get how you are supposed to play this.

I'm away most of this week, so I may not get another go.

I think the best advice for anyone playing the game is just to leg it as fast as they can! You can run faster than most of the baddies, so you shouldn't have to worry too much about ones coming up behind you, unless you come up against loads of baddies (you stop moving when you attack).

On some of the levels, you can't move far to the right. This is because it scrolls right to left, so you have to keep moving left. On higher levels, there are also some nasties with shields. These can only be killed from behind.

Oh, dear. This game wasn't properly playtested. Enemies attack faster than you can turn around. That kills a lot of fun. Either that, or it just is not responsive enough. Could've been a great game, sadly it is an average also-ran.

Could be wrong, but after the Bonus level - you got one solitary attempt at it - which I think is Level 3 - it appears you can choose which level to try next. I went for Air and find that was Level 6 on the scoreboard, whereas Fire was only Level 4. I suppose it doesn't matter in which order these selectable levels are done in, but air is certainly tougher than fire, so if you want an easy(?) run...!

I haven't managed to get a better score - I think it's time for me to wrap it up for this week. (The more I play this one the less I like it...)

Mildly annoyed, cos I did score about 8K more but forgot to post the score. Still, it wouldn't have made a difference to the final total, but it's the second time I've done it this year!
