A game from Americana Software, the budget label of U.S. Gold, whose average game wasn't exactly very good. This one is an exception, because it's decent – dated, especially graphically, and with an explorative gameplay, a mix between Jet Set Willy and Atic Atac, without jumping and keys, but with the aim of collecting all the 1£ coins scattered through the playing area, composed by dozens of flip screens, starting from a bedroom, presumably yours, and passing through any kind of places, including a hedge maze. Simple but pleasant. 3/5

P.s. Now that I've read the instructions I know that you need the money to buy a new Spectrum because you broke the old one, and if your parents find out, your life is over. There are 200 rooms, and once you collect enough money [64£] you can purchase the new Spectrum at the shop and go back home.
