Now Zen can climb on it to reach more sticks. To make the game still more complicated, Zen can't change the colour of the sticks while he is in his magic mode. did o by the time I'd fathomed out all of the controls for it. Of course l if you've a quicker mind than I have you won't have too l many problems. It isn't that there are lots of buttons or keys to remember as you use a joystick, however each position a performs a different action and further options are added p by combining the fire button with a direction. s Anyway, before I put you off trying the game, I'd better tell e you what it is about. i The main character is a little teddy bear, at least he looks like one on the cassette sleeve, called Zen. Zen's aim is to s change the colour of a sequence of sticks from grey to blue and a then set up a chain reaction to collapse them all. Of course, n during his task he doesn't go unhindered. On each screen e he is approached by objects, which look like multi Turning back to normal is simply a matter of pushing the stick forward and then carrying on as before. It is possible to detain the aliens for a while, giving you a little more freedom as you wander around the screen. To do this you must turn Zen into his magic mode, pull back on the joystick and watch the magic dust appear. If the aliens run into this they will be trapped for a moment or two gaining you extra points. Once all sticks are blue, or before if you feel like it, you can start to collapse the structure. This is done by carrying out the procedure for building a bridge, only this time moving the stick in the direction of a stick. This starts a domino effect causing the sticks to tumble down. Bonus points are awarded if you can collapse all the screen in one coloured x pumpkins and hovering hedgehogs. which eat up his t time if he comes into contact with them. r Each screen presents a different pattern of sticks. Bridges help e Zen climb around the screen so that he can reach all of the sticks. The bridges at first glance do seem a little few and far m between. Fortunately Zen is not an ordinary, wimpish Teddy e as portrayed by Paddington, or for the more mature readers, l Teddy Robinson, because he can turn himself into a magic y bear. yawn! Once Zen has his magic turned on he can start a to build his own bridges where he needs them. To do this p you have to press the tire button, turning him from an ordinary to a magic bear, then press the button again and t move the stick in the direction that you want to lay, or t i tor : A l t Yt z m a l 10""it e A l eGMWOOMM08..01...WWW • • • • N V go. I don't think you'll get bored with this game for quite a while as there are no fewer than 96 screens to tackle. The fact that the controls are a little complicated, the few examples I have given shows this, may put a few people off, though I must admit you do pick them up fairly quickly. If you can stand the strain this game is extremely good value at £1.99. If you start pulling your hair out you can always give it to the kids to shut them up for a few hours. J.G.
