 ACTION BIKER
 Mastertronic 1985

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : Released as a part of a promotion between KP Skips and 
 Mastertronic, Action Biker stars a character called Clumsy Colin, who
 is currently having something of a dream. He must find his friend Marti
 and take him to a spaceport before he wakes up at 8am.

 GAMEPLAY : Colin's first task is to get some equipment together -
 add-ons for his bike and suchlike. The more equipment he has the easier
 his task becomes. For example, his home town is littered with oil slicks
 which cause Colin to skid. The answer is a better pair of tyres.

  Out of the 150 houses in the town, only 50 contain anything of value.
 When you think you have found a useful house you can enter it and, from
 the bird's eye view on the screeen, examine its contents. Your progress
 is frustrated by people not being in whem you visit, or if they are they
 may tempt you with a cup of tea. If you stay you are wasting valuable
 time!

  Out on the streets, life is frought with dangers, particularly the other
 traffic. If you collide with another vehicle, this will lessen the amount
 of time left for sleep and if you crash too often, Colin will wake up -
 which means Game Over.

 Apart from the crash damage you must keep an eye on your fuel. The amount
 you have is shown on screen, and you can top up in the garages around the
 town. Scattered around the streets there are also packets of Skips for
 you to pick up; each one gains you points.

 COMMENTS : "Very hard to play and unrewarding to boot."
 RATING : 52% (CRASH #19, August 1985)

 NOW : A seriously bad game.
