Computers and crisps haven't really gone together until now. Mastertronic and KP
crisps have joined forces to bring KP's marketing character to your 64. It's all
been worthwhile too, and although the end result boils down to being a collecting game
it's definitely one of the better ones.
You take the role of Clumsy Colin the biker and you've got to go out on your
bike and collect items scattered throughout the 'softsolid' 3D town. The town
has roads, houses, lakes and rollercoaster type constructions. The items you have
to collect wll eventually help you overcome the various obstacles littered over
the landscape.
You commence the game outside the town's petrol station, and have to return
here when your bike's fuels starts to run low (although one of the items you
can pick up later on in the game is an enlarged fuel tank). Once you start you
are given a time limit to collect the first item, which is somewhere in the
landscape. Luckily your bike is able to go off the road, although you have to be
careful not to ride into the myriad of fences and walls.
Once an item has been collected the time remaining is converted into points and
another time limit is given. As the game goes on the objects are put in less
accessible places and eventually you have to use all your skill to reach an item.
For examaple you have to use ramps to jump fences to collect an item totally
fenced in. The town is quite large and 'wraps round' so it's possible to keep on
travelling on the same road until your fuel runs out.
