I consider this the best 'Panic' clone I encountered so far. But its also one of the hardest games I've come across! The first two levels are easy enough, but after that its go and get killed!
If you have a bit of time to spare give this a try and put your nerves to the test!

Sam Spade has it all to become a little classic in its own right ... mainly because of its vintage looks and flavour .

I reached level 3 but I do not know what to do to kill the green alien . Can someone help me , please ??

A sort of Mario Bros precursor .

This is highly rated among World of Spectrum visitors but to be honest this is largely overrated. The graphics are really nice but the horrid controls that turn on me pretty much all the time makes this a bit unplayable. Looks nice but the controls ruins its chances of being great.

Quite a passable Panic game that came to light as the only Spectrum game title my friend could remember and she insisted on seeing it again!
Not as good as Horace and the Spiders though...
That dig button is a tad too sensitive, but the game is quick and duly delivers panic.
