Bomb fusion
After overcoming the initial urges to reset the machine after seeing the in-game graphics (Spectrum!), this is actually a fun game.
It's a static platform game. Your character can jump around the platforms and there's even vertical wrap around, which makes reaching for higher platforms easy. The game's goal is to grab those red circle things that run around the platforms and deposit them in the blue box with a yellow stripe. Deposit enough, and you're cleared to proceed to the next level. To make things challenging, there are some bombs scattered around that get their fuses lit up, one after the other. You have to diffuse them before the timer reaches 0 (of course then instantly another fuse lits up, but gives you some time to go and deposit some red circles). If the timer reaches zero, you lose some energy. Finally there's a boulder running around as well, which if you touch costs you some energy too.
As mentioned, the gfx are really sub-par regarding the ST's capabilities. At least they run at 50fps constantly. The controls are snappy too, which helps as you have to do some tricky platform jumping. I wish they'd have implemented horizontal wrapping of the main character too - that'd be even more confusing but flexible!
In summation, a fun title that I never found before I booted the menu!
