BUILDERLAND

GAME TYPE......................PLATFORM

SOFTWARE HOUSE.................OCEAN


When I started playing Builderland for the first time,I thought 
"Oh no,it's another boring platform game.".Now I know that I was
completely wrong.Builderland may look like super wonderboy,but it
is much better.There's a nice picture of a boy with a lot of big
and ugly monsters next to him when you load the game.The rest of 
the graphics are not great,but it's not like a Spectrum.
   On the menu you can select to enter a password or start playing.
I haven't played Builderland enough to get a password.When you start
Builderland you see a game looking just like all the other millions
of platform games.Except the little square in front of the little 
guy to the left in the picture.Your mission in this game is to get
the little guy to the other side of the game.
   With the little square,you can pick up things and drop them.At
some places there are holes in the ground.Then you must find 
something to put in the hole.There are many different things lying
on the ground.If you find a yellow thing,you can put it anywhere.
Gray things will fall to the ground if you put them in the air.
There are also bombs,lifts,clouds and many more.There are some things
you can't move.Some of them gives you points if the hero picks them
up.Some things can be used by pressing space.Pick axes can be used 
to make tunnels in mud.At some places there are houses.If you enter
a house,you will have to fight a monster.That's really easy.There
are also monsters at some places.If you have a weapon,use it!
    Builderland is not an easy game.The screen scrolls to fast for
me to do everything.You have to think fast at some places.There are 
also some problems which are better than Dungeon Master.When you die
you sometimes start from a place very far away.Doing the same things
again and again is not fun.It would be much better if you started where
you died.
    The graphics in Builderland is average.The music is disgusting.The
gameplay is not great but above average.Many things could have been
better in Builderland.They could have removed the music for example
