^4 This  game has solved the problem of four people wanting to play the
^4same  game at the same time!  There can be up to four players in this
^4game, two using joysticks and two using keyboard.

^6 This  is  a six section game where the aim is to move your player to
^6the top of the screen via platforms whilst avoiding obstacles, before
^6one  of  the other players gets there.  There are set paths to follow
^6to  reach  the  exit,  it's  quite  easy to see which way to go, it's
^6getting past the obstacles that's the problem!

^4 There  are  switches  on  the  platforms which trigger off events on
^4other  parts  of  the  screen,  these include daggers, fireballs from
^4giant cannons and things that will squash you if you're under them.

^6 Diamonds  fall  from  the  sky, if you catch one of these, weird and
^6wonderful  things happen, but that's for you to find out!  Let's just
^6say that the results can be very confusing!

^4 You  will  get ten points for completing a level, and every time you
^4die,  you  lose a point, the nice thing about this is that the scores
^4go into the minuses so that you cann't die.  This is great if you are
^4playing against better opponents as you still get to play even if you
^4keep dying!  What's wrong with a score of -56 anyway?

^6 Revolution  can  be  played by just one person, but this is best for
^6practising,  the  real  fun  comes  when  three  or  four players are
^6 battling to reach the top of the screen.

^4 The  graphics  are  of  a  very  high  quality,  the title screen is
^4excellent.   The  level  screens  have been very well thought out and
^4each  one is entirely different. The backdrops include a factory with
^4wheels and cogs and a city at night with the building lit up.  As you
^4don't  get GAME OVER if you lose too many lives, you will see all six
^4screens.

^6 The game characters are great, one is a human, the others are called
^6Blub,  Geek  and  Dweeb and are rather novel in appearance.  They are
^6well  animated  and  perform well whether they are controlled via the
^6keyboard or the joystick.  I found the keyboard easier, but joysticks
^6are not my favourite form of control anyway.

^4 The  only  thing that I feel lets this game down is the way that the
^4game  instructions  and credits are displayed.  They are just printed
^4in  white on a black screen using the default Topaz font, it's a pity
^4that more attention has not been paid to this part of the program.

^6 That  is  the only thing that I don't like about the presentation of
^6the  program,  the game itself is superb and different from any other
^6in the Déjà Vu range.
