Does anyone know how to control your character in this game? I can't get it to move at all.

Very strange game. From what I remember, some sort of dystopia setting. Looked good but it was quite buggy and not very playable.

One of those great, early games from Psygnosis that made me forget the Atari 8-bit and fall in love with ST gaming.

First ST game I ever owned. And the only one I know of where you can hotswap a colour and monochrome monitor without the system warm starting, provided you had a monitor switcher.
