Emerald Mines           Almathera               £15

Emerald Mines is a massive re-releae of the old classic onto CD32 and
has literally hundreds of levels.  Emerald Mines is a maze-like romp in
which your objective is to collect the neccessary amount of crystals
needed to complete the level.  During your spree, you will come up
against a wide range of monsters whos sole purpose is to thwart your
task.

The levels range from very simple to vergeing on the impossible.  The
graphics are very basic eight bit-like attempts, but what do you expect
for £15.   If you can master the somewhat cumbersome pad conversion
control method, you may enjoy this, but it is very basic stuff and is
unlikely to hold your attention for a long period of time.
