Sometimes you just want to take a break from flight sims and strategy games and just play a combination of Dig Dug and Bubble Bobble. Well, Monster Business has you covered.
Your task is to clear the screen of monsters within a relatively short timeframe, and you do this by pumping each of them full of air until they float upwards. You can simply leave them to float away, or you can bump them, sending them flying off to the side, and potentially knocking out other monsters on the way, thereby saving you time. It's a simple arcade concept that works surprisingly well, and includes music that wouldn't sound out of place on the C64.

There's not a lot to say about this other than what I already have. If you want a unique arcade-style action game, Monster Business is worth a look, but it might not hold your interest for too long.
