#### Reviewed By J. Monkman

Novelty headwear, women with oversized boobs and a generous amount of ball popping action. Nope, sadly I'm not referring to the RGCD Christmas party.

### Mr. Mole (MSX)

#### Reviewed By J. Monkman

A breakout clone where you play as a football-kicking, sexually-frustrated mole? An undeniably fantastic premise let down by shoddy physics and non-existent game-play.
