Never heard of it you say? Well if you have heard of Decapattack
for the Genesis/Megadrive then it is basically the same game. You
control a fox to start with, but later on you get to be different
animals to help you on your way. Animals available are a Monkey
which helps you to jump higher, a Hippo which can smash blocks to
clear your path, and also a Tiger (or was it a cheetah... I cant
remember) which lets you run faster, and thus enables you to jump
farther with a greater run up.
I remember seeing this game featured in an old magazine when I was
a youngster, and thinking 'WOW! That looks awesome' so I just had to
own it, and indeed I did.
To help you on your journey, there is a bird which you collect from
an egg, usually one of the first you see on each level. This bird can
be fired at your enemy, and after a short period of time comes flying back
to you so you never lose it.
Also available are hidden portals which when smashed open with the bird,
sends you to a warp level which features many tubes to go down, and
if you know where to look on the very first level, can send you to
the last level.
This is a great platform game, and I urge everyone to give it a try,
even those that cannot stand cutesy platform games.
