The casette cover shows a photo of a panicking boy being hunted down. The instructions build up expectation for what was. after all, £6.95 of 1984 money invested (about £20 today)
"You are on an expedition to an unexplored planet. While
searching for valuable dilithium crystals far away from your
ship and fellow crew members, you find yourself in an area
where there are a large number of deadly acid pools.
Suddenly you are confronted by four aliens who immediately
begin to chase you."
Exciting stuff... until it loads and you get the chance to use a bad set of keyboad keys, including separate keys for diagonal movement, in order to udg-'run' away from the udg-aliens in acton packed single screen of utterly shite mayhem.

What could be said about Man Hunt? I get its simplicity but it doesn't play well at all, especially when the enemies fall down what appears to be hidden holes at random, unless that's in the instructions but they are another victim of World of Spectrum's issues as they don't load. It looks like a game written in BASIC but I can't break into it so most likely it wasn't. It's frankly up there with Butterfly in how ridiculous it is that this was commercially released and for the price of £6.95. And this was Omen Software's only game, I think I know why.
