Description	Defend the cross from attack by snake like monsters in this arcade actioner. Use keys QAOP to move the monk around the play area and M to fire the aerosol can weapon at the incoming waves of magenta enemies. The cross will naturally rise, but if the the enemies touch it, then it will start to descend. If it reaches the bottom of the screen, then you will lose a life. Allow the cross to ascend near to the top of the screen in order to progress to the next level. Features high quality UDG graphics, and an impressively neat and well commented BASIC listing. Although the author comments This game is undeniably slower, feebler and less entertaining than I had thought possible when I first dreamed it up in my head.. *Update* - The author added a holy hand grenade.
Comments	Here's another one that's actually quite good as games go. I've certainly spent many a weekend in my youth?entering enormous type-ins into various?8-bit computers with the end result seldom looking as good as this graphically. It is a long time now between the submission of the game and the writing of these results (almost a year in fact) But IIRC, the author insisted that the game was nowhere near as good as it should've been - which makes it ideally placed to get a good score in the CGC as it stands. The flat top shaped head of the crucified in-game messianic character looked suitably comical for this game and also the rather amusing use of an aerosol as a weapon just cries out originality. I suppose rather predictably, I can't help but think of the Always look on the bright side of life tune when playing it.
