Developed by Software Creations and published by Mastertronic in 1988.

The sewers have been overrun with horrible germ like enemies and their leader, the evil slime. You must take control of L.I.N.D.A. and scour the sewers for 8 grenades that you must use to defeat the slime.

You can only carry 1 grenade at a time, which is one of the big challenges of the game. Once collected, you must navigate your way back through the maze of rooms to the Slime where it will be used.

You have a limited amount of health, which can be drained by enemies, the environment and also drains away at a constant rate during play. You can recharge energy at the red recharging stations located in some rooms, but for some reason they situated too far away from the Slime, so you will always lose a life when taking a grenade to it.

Fortunately, you can find extra lives in the form of hearts and these will help you complete the game.

There are other items to pick up, such as ammo for your weapon, but a few them don't seem to do anything. You also have a shield, but this doesn't seem to do anything either and there is no apparent way to activate it.

This was a reasonable budget game and included some good music from Tim Follin.

Enjoy!
