This issue's something different is:

                      LABRYNTH OF ZEUX
                       (PC shareware)

       Stamped to the floor by Andrew J Wielochowski

This is a graphic game for DOS.

In the game you play an adventurer who has heard of the Staff of
Zeux and decides he must look for it. He then ventures into a cave
and is trapped inside by a freak landslide. You then have to
collect treasures, keys and bombs to venture forth and get the
staff and escape from the labrynth.

There are many good parts about the game and may bad parts at the
same time. The game itself is reasonably poor graphic wise, but
the soundblaster music will practically blow your mind.  The game
is set up in different levels with different "baddies" to combat
or avoid. Your character looks like an ASCII "face" graphic which
is slightly amusing.  As you get further into the game the levels
get very hard and soon you find yourself jumping from vines,
avoiding missiles and trying not to hit wickedly sharp stalactites
at the same time.  It has a range of enemies; walkers to amoebas.

Labrynth of Zeux cannot really be classified as addictive but is
very tough and those who like it WILL clock-up a fair amount of
time puzzling over most of the levels. The game is perfect for
children and adults and deserves a place in everyone's game
collection.
