1989 Melbourne House (UK)

What a weird game! It's a sort of a Rampage clone where our character, a giant Cyclops like monster has to destroy every building structure in each level in orer to progress to the next. The action happens in different parts of the world, like ancient Egypt, Medieval Europe, and so on. You have to look out for enemy fire, mosquitoes and other hazards, food will replenish your energy. Between levels there is a very basic arena fight between our character and a sort Dinosaur type creature (the same creatures seen on the loading screen).
It's not bad but becomes repetitive and the need to rewind tape or reload the game each time you lose didn't do it any favors.
