Hoards of plutonium crazed mutants swarm out of their burrows to sap the vital energy from an important powerhouse. You are a ruthless mutant slayer, specially commissioned for the job. While you manipulate two laser barriers to keep the mutants out, you must try to find the mouth of the burrow. Once inside, you must descend to the bowels of the earth, dodging falling rocks, to destroy the mutant eggs. You risk being eaten alive as you place an explosive charge by the eggs; and getting crushed by the rocks as you climb to the surface to detonate it! In two exciting, action-packed parts, Mutant Herd is an entirely new concept in computer games. It features lively, full-colour animation with joystick or keyboard control.
