Same Review in Both Publications

Dare you load this program in your T.I.? It may never be the same again after an encounter with the dreaded " Byte Bug ".

A circuit board is displayed. Suddenly one of it's components fails. Your task is to guide your man between the working components to find a replacement then install it in place of the faulty one. But we all know that where computers are involved, its not that easy.

For a start the Byte Bug is out to get you and he'll happily take a life if your caught. Then there's the splatter zaps. These appear unexpectedly and crunch round the circuitry. Worst of all are the static zaps. Unless the Q key is pressed the instant these start, you've no chance. If this weren't enough, there's the occasional " Portron -Transportation - Medium " that blocks your path. These take you to another location, usually just where you don't want to go.

Detailed graphics make this enjoyable to play and watch.
