Here it is, the sequel to the
sequel. Anyone who managed
to finish the first two Reptons

screen, or the unpleasant,
poisonous fungus which
smears itself all over the screen,
attempting to engulf you.
The aim of the game remains
the same— to clear each level
of diamonds, including the ones
tucked away in cages and safes.

It's as gripping, entertaining
and downright frustrating as

The game is really three in
one. You get arcade adventure,
fight simulation and high-speed
race action. You only have to
play them in sequence if you
fight Prince Barin. The idea is
not to kill him but to earn his
respect. If you can do this he
will allow you to pass through
his caves onto the surface for
the final confrontation with
Ming.
The fight action is typical of
