Pretty standard game, you have to move around the maze which is about one screen large, then collect the fruit in the correct order whilst not getting hit by the birds. There isn't much wrong with it, it's just that it's been done so many times before. Graphics are above average for the low-res mode, but the whole thing is ok if you like this sort of thing.

A highly original game, in this you are a little ball and have to spin around the isometrically designed single screen levels, the only problem is that you can't go down a level and then back up, so if you go below the level of one of the balls, you are stuck. It is a nice mixture of arcade action and strategy as you have a time limit, and monsters chase you, but you have to plan out the levels first.

The final game and in my opinion the best, this one changes the main character to a little ball shaped thing, looking a lot like Sprat from Ricochet. This is set on the surface of a planet, and you have to collect various items, it is difficult, but more enjoyable than the others, and the graphics are up to Peter Scotts usual standards.

Early-ish 1985 game from Potters, this is more of a fantasy adventure all about wizards and orbs of power, its not as good as their later efforts.
