Monster Lair
Poor
Tom-Tom. He’s already
rescued his girl and saved the land
from the evil Meka Dragon, and
he’s just sat down for five minutes
hoping to get a cup of tea and a bit
of a kip, when invaders from across
the galaxy appear and pinch a load
of legendary weapons and armour.
In fact, he’s so put out by all this, he
changes his name to Leo, dyes his
hair bright green and sets out to
knock seven shades of Deep Blue
out of these little scumbags that are
about as welcome as a dose of clap.
And to make things worse, all these
years of running around naked in
the jungle and he STILL can’t get a
decent tan.
From the very first second, you can
tell that Leo really means business
- after all he’s running...all the time.
There’s no standing around to
take stock of your surroundings or
Watch out for ice; you’ll slip around
like an oiled baby in a non-stick pan.
plan a viable strategy for success,
this sucker is full-on auto-scroll at
all times so you need to keep on
your toes and focus on what you’re
doing instead of tickling the dog
and munching a biscuit as you play.
Believe me, it doesn’t work.
And if that’s not enough to raise
the tension, the good old original
Wonder Boy style health system has
been slotted neatly back in place, so
you’ll need to collect lots and lots of
fruit to stop your life being sucked
Don’t venture too close or you’ll
get a taste of his huge fiery balls.

Pop that pink fairy and you might just get a quick
snog out of her (or maybe just a wand to the head)
away faster than marriage and
children ever could.
Now this wouldn’t be too fair if you
were given the same old offensive
tools. Throwing small hatchets or
gently poking critters with your
tiny sword won’t cut the mustard
here. No, this time Leo has far
more power as at the very least his
sword shoots out cannon ball sized
projectiles that maim anything that
dares to get in their way.
Naturally, as in pretty much every
video game ever invented, there are
power ups, but Monster Lair has a
weapon system that I like so much
I’m very tempted to cook it dinner
one evening.
You see, in many games you tend
to find the ‘best’ weapon and
stick with it, never picking the less
effective ones or the complete
duffer (for there is always one). But
Beat off these ghouls before they
become fully erect and block your path.
