Review:

A game that you either loved or loathed. It was slow moving and a chore to play but many people persisted because of the prize on offer. Written entirely in BASIC, hacking into the code did not help as most of the clues to the location of the prize were cryptic in the extreme.

Amazingly, someone actually did manage to solve all the clues and win the prize after some years. A bizarre game that included free music that could put the Eurovision Song Contest to shame!
