This was one of the first games ever released by Gremlin Graphics who
have since gone on to great things on the PC and Playstation with titles
such as Actua Soccer 1,2 & 3, Actua Golf 1 & 2, Actua Hockey
etc..
The aim of the bounder game was very simple progress through the screens
whilst avoiding deadly obsticles and making sure you stay on the path.
Along the way you could jump on '?' blocks that would add extra lives
and 'arrow' blocks that would enable larger jumps etc. When you finally
arrived at the end of the stage you would have a bonus level where you
would be in room with '?' blocks that you would have to clear with a
certain amount of jumps.
Its an excellent game, with nice graphics and sound. But the gameplay
makes it stand out from the rest...make sure you try it today as Bounder
has recently been made available to download at Gremlin Graphic's homepage.
