haha, Well I can get a bit further than that now. Until the art gallery where I am completely lost. I remember I got this game for christmas in the 80's I was skull fucked as an 8 year old trying to figure this bastard out.
OMG, what a waste of my pocket money this game was!I hated it with a passion. I mean, speccy games were hard enough but this was a piss take. I ended up sticking some sellotape over the write protect notches and stuck some Queen or Dire Straits on if I remember rightly....
Don't know about Gregory but I lost my clock playing this shit! At least the tape came in handy. Now Gregory can listen to some decent music and retire in the background where he belongs.
Nice graphics but the game looks way too annoying. I see a pattern. All these large sized graphic characters are doomed games... Popeye, Benny hill etc
Minder was good back then just like the series. Loved the game and the programme. But playing and watching it now well, it seems to have aged badly, the series has anyway. I can put some Minder up if you want though.
I'd been meaning to play this game for ages. The graphics are fantastic, the plot a little different and quirky - like many Spectrum games had - and it seemed interesting enough, but I kept forgetting about it. Seeing you struggle on and trying to persevere despite dying again and again before finally getting fed up has settled it for me: I won't be playing this in a hurry!
Can't complain graphically or story-wise. It just seems like you'd have to be in the mind of the programmer to get anywhere. Smart game, though difficult...well for me! Give it a go! You never know! Can't do any worse than me.
have you considered doing a playthrough of this game?

in that case, i kinda hope someone does, mainly because i don't know of any good ZX Spectrum emulators.

Could you do a video of you going through the whole game of Topo Soft's Blackbeard and Topo Soft's Collisium as well?

I can do Blackbeard, but Collisium just keeps repeating with no end. Anyway, I will do that as well! Cheers mate!

You need to be a glutton for punishment to stick with this one. But fair do's. It's horses for courses. But not my type of game!

This game really annoyed me. You don't get far into it before finding it difficunt! Benny Hill has got to be the best out of the lot of them.

Never heard of the Benny hill one until I was looking through World of Speccy.
Wasn't as good as the Minder Speccy game! That was class.... (or was it??)
