This is a small but effective demo of the first MegaZeux game in Gemini's "Treasure Hunt" series. (The first three were made in QBasic.)
For the uninitiated, it's a simple, old-school sidescroller. You collect treasure (each item has its own worth depending on quality and type), jump on enemies and hit "?" blocks. You can deliberately fall through and jump through many platforms. Your character has a life meter as well as lives, which is helpful for a 1x1 sidescroller.
The level design is several notches above average, though the themes are a bit time-worn (grassy level and volcano level in this demo). What stands out the most, though, is its presentation. The title screen is one of the best MZX title screens I can remember, and the grass level is vibrant. The volcano level looks a bit dull in comparison, but is still serviceable.
Though it doesn't last that long, it's still a good play.
Score: 4.5 (rounded up to 5)
