Ultimate again with another of their vintage 1983 hits. In this game, you control Robbie the Robot and your task is to prevent a swarm of insects from eating his precious plant. The playing area is a garden and lining its walls are spray cans which are used to exterminate those pesky bugs. To make life difficult, you need to use the right spray can on the right type of insect, otherwise it only stuns the beast instead of killing it. If you manage to stave off the attack long enough for the plant to grow, it blooms and you move onto the next level. Compulsive stuff.

It sounds a bit rude but it’s a wonderful game with Ultimate’s usual magnificent graphics. Robbie the robot must keep the swarming insect life from eating his plant. To do this there are various spray cans lining the brick walls of the garden. Each level adds a different insect to the collection and the trick is that you must use the correct spray on the right insect or it only serves to stun for a moment. The insects also kill off Robbie as well as the plant, which shrinks away if it’s eaten for too long. Letting it grow results in a bloom and a new level. Amazing graphics, 100 percent machine code, 8-directional movement, one or two player game, sensible control keys and Kempston joystick. Recommended. Also available in ROM cartridge form for £14.95.
