While taking an unfortunate short cut on a visit to the planet Zuggi, diplomat Carlin is mugged and robbed of all his belongings and clothes. To return to the very distant comforts of Earth, Carlin must somehow get back his clothes and re-cover his body.

Carlin's clothes have been scattered by his loutish attackers around Zuggi's flick-screen central shopping area. Items of his wayward wardrobe may be found in certain shops, but often these can't be retrieved till the shop is open for business. By touching the closed doors of such shops Carlin can discover their opening times and plan his campaign of clothes - collection.

Carlin makes his way through a succession of chemist shops, butchers, supermarkets, changing rooms and saunas - he even visits the mayor's house. But he can't get into some areas, because he's not suitably attired. So he has to dress himself...

As he moves up and down and through the different levels of the shopping centre, Carlin can discover useful items to help in his quest: stopwatches, gold padlocks, coloured keys, energy beams, corks, spectacles, clay apples and typewriters. He can carry up to five objects at a time.

But all Carlin's hard work can be quickly undone if he encounters one of Zuggi's roving band of thieves.

Running around in the buff searching for something to cover your all-too-apparent modesty is exhausting work. So Carlin must top up his continually flagging energy and hunger levels by taking every opportunity to eat and sleep.

This bears a striking resemblance to David Jones's Magic Knight games in the pulldown menu systems and the overall feel and appearance. But Streaker isn't a patch on them. The gameplay is dull, and this kind of repetitive 'find and use the right object in order to find and use the next' game has just about bitten the dust.

Cor! This makes a change. I haven't seen an arcade adventure for... umm... well, half an hour at least. Putting all the unoriginal originality comments aside, I found that Streaker is quite good fun, but it's very hard to get into. There's a massive number of objects lying around but only a few pockets to put them in, which means going backwards and forwards all over the maze trying different objects in the same place. All this can get tedious and boring very quickly.

It's enough to put you off your food! The hero in this new budget release by Bulldog is a big, fat, wobbly male sprite, attired only in his birthday suit. Thank goodness he's still got his socks on!

How he got to be in this state is all part of the plot. Carlin, for it is he, took a trip to the planet Zuggi to buy a new defence system for Earth. Well, after a round of talks with a top official, Carlin decided to take a rest at the fitness club. Unfortunately a gang of muggers pounced on him on his way, and not only nicked his top secrets, but also most of his clothes! Getting his gear back is tiding to be a bit tricky as the muggers scattered it around the shopping complex, and many of the establishments take offence when Carlin's naked form tries to get inside. On top of that, there's a food shortage on Zuggi, so if you spot any food, scoff it quick.

Collecting Carlin's (black label) togs is what the game is all about. Before you can enter certain buildings Carlin has to cover his embarrassment, but of course he has to find something first! Streaker is basically a Spellbound clone. It even includes it's own menu selection window which works well. Where it differs, and where it is original is in the use of the different opening times of some of the buildings. The game is played in 'real time', so shops or pubs are only open at certain times, which is where the tricky part of the game starts! Good, clear graphics, nice animation and the large playing area make the Streaker the best Bulldog since Feud. It's not easy, but bear with it for some naked entertainment.

Look, it doesn't matter why, but the fact is that you're stark naked, in the buff so to speak, and you're in a shopping centre and you've got to get back all your clothes PDQ.

Bulldog has gone mad, and I'm talking mad. Streaker is an arcade-adventure, involving a quite hideous fat, naked sprite (who for some reason is still wearing his shoes).

The usual controls are here: Pick up, Drop, Examine and so on. The game can be played using the keyboard or a joystick. Not that it matters - gameplay is terribly trundley and not very entertaining.
