VENTURAMA

Oh dear! In Venturama you play a character called Orson Karte. If that
isn't the worst joke-name in the  world,  I  don't know what is, (What
about Annette Curtain or Teresa  Green?  Ed). Anyway, this Orson bloke
was floating over the island of  Rialcnisruoy  (think about it) in his
balloon when he fell out. So now he's trapped there.

As Orson you must find  the  diamond  skull  and  make your way to the
balloon (which crashed elsewhere in the island but, magically is still
in working order) and float gently  back  to safety. All this makes it
sound incredibly easy but, as you'd  expect,  it isn't. There are lots
of platformy screens to work through,  and plenty of tricks and traps.
You can carry up to four  objects  at  any  one time, and most of them
have a function. For example, at the  start of the game if you collect
the magic crystal ball by  the  beach  hut  and  place  it on the blue
object, it'll unlock the passage to the right. Then you can really get
started.

Venturama's completely  brilliant  and  it  should  keep  you  out  of
mischief for many an hour
