NEW BREED
Cool Croc Twins is Arcade Masters' first product and features two unlikely heroes in the shape of Funk and Punk, the crocodile brothers. The scaley duo have both fallen for the same girl, the beautiful Crockette Daisy, who can't decide which croc she likes the most, and runs off in her confusion. The two brothers set off in hot pursuit to proclaim their love and hopefully win her affections. This is not going to be easy, not only is the girl playing hard to get, but she's chosen a rather perilous route to tread. Choosing one of the two you must dodge your way through the sixty platform levels and bring her home.
TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
Each screen incorporates a series of lights which must be illuminated before you can progress to the next. The chosen Croc must walk around the edges of the screen and tumble across the playfield in order to bump into the blocks and light them up. The task is made harder by the wandering nasties that hound your actions and stick to patrolling the most accessible spots for tumbling onto the lights. There can be up to fifteen of these on screen at once, making it almost impossible to find anywhere safe to tread.

There are six worlds in all, and each has a different theme from jungle forests, complete with pink elephant backdrops to a cattle farming ranch in the deep South. The sprites that patrol the platforms and walls are suitably adapted to the scenario and, although their basic mission to kill you doesn't alter, their appearance does. Along with these, the added features of ice blocks, doors, brick walls and directional arrows which only allow you to pass through one way makes for some drastic and frustrating gameplay as you career off at different angles trying to dear the screen. If you're lucky enough to catch a nastie in mid-flight, the blighter will be squished and will throw up a letter. Collecting these will give you an assortment of extra help including freeze game, multiple-lighting capabilities and neutralise special blocks. Splatter all the pests and you'll get a chance to catch the extra life token.

Although the worlds are colourful and sprites smooth and detailed at it's best Cool Croc Twins is a very average game for the just below average gamer. Its saving grace is the simultaneous two-player option where some fine battles can be had racing toward the last light with a friend. It's just a pity.
