jabbathehut Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 I admire your patience on this one.Been reading the reviews of this game and they are mostly positive one or two are more realistic about it.Nowadays it would get hammered by all and sundry.They can't decide though how many screens the game has.16,20 or 26 take your pick.The archive.org is an amazing resource. Honestly had I bought that game for 6.95 back in the day I would have been livid.Wonder how many they sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearecity Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 I did laugh when the dog bounced off the TV. Obviously a very frustrating game, but back in the day, we would have perseved, because we had spent our hard earned pocket money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logopolis Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Never came across this game before. It reminds me of a another Spectrum game called Jumping Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping Jack, such a simple idea for a game, with as simplest graphics, you'll ever see. But it had one of those, just one more go vibes about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabbathehut Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Interesting game found an enhanced (hacked) version that allowed a joystick option which i need to play it on my handheld.Easy premise not so easy to do though. Its interesting as there was just magazine reviews and what your friends bought to decide what games you would play back in the day.Then as now my main focus was driving and sports games although ultimate play the game were special and tons of interesting games fell through the cracks because we just didn't know enough about them or see anyone playing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiny Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I remember playing this in my youth and finding it seriously hard (just like basically everything on the Spectrum), so I never really played it much. In case anyone's interested though, the world record for completion is 11:22 : Edited April 27, 2022 by shiny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompostCORNER Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Very patient there pal. I'd have fisted the screen with frustration after 10 minutes of having to start all over again when I died. Actually, I tell a lie. I'd have fisted the screen, smashed a chair on my joystick and burned all the bogroll in my house... Very entertaining vid by the way pal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
