I loved this game. It was indeed harder than hell though. My dad and I used to play together and drew out the full game map on a large sheet of grid-paper. Used IceBox to be able to save games too as it was just too frustrating to have to start over at the beginning all the time.
i remember this so well, loved it. my dad could always get us to level 3 then he just got angry!! missed this so much, i just downloaded it and posted walkthrough, my eyes hurt
Indeed, The Electron version has a Scroll on the screen with your in game stats. Also you choose a character with a hand rather than a pointer. Nice Game.
Love it! This reminds me of Saturday mornings in the 80s...me and my brother would always find the bit where you have to sneak past the bee thing the most difficult.
I always wanted to get into this one, it was the sort of game that I would love, but I got it too late on at the tail-end of the BBC's life, when I was starting to be lured away but games on other formats. I think I migght have to load it over the weekend to have a go after seeing this, though!
Great vids. I remember 95% of all these old beeb games :) We went from an acorn electron, bbc b, acorn achimedes a440, then a 440 with an arm3 upgrade, then a 540.
What a game, really shows what the BBC can do. How did you record it, what em?
