Nice to see this old thing again.

I did the code and my mate Matt did the music.. Such a long time ago now.

How I miss working on the Acorn Risc OS platforms. Best machines to program ever.

Working on PCs is enough to get you to the loony bin...

Thanks for the comments Shaun. Do have a list of all the Acorn games you worked on? I reckon it has be a good few. I'll try and get them all on here :) Loony bin was superb!

I absolutely loved this game as a kid. Chemistry lab was my favourite! My brothers and I used to take turns on the levels.

Urgh, as I watch this I remember the furstraition. How I wouldn't go for certain tokens because it wasn't worth the risk or how I certain jumps were so tricky and could totally screw up your chances later on.

Never did complete level five.

@shaunhw I hate to burst your bubble on the good memories, but Matt wrote this in the code in the instrumental text.

"hello hacker fucker

He doesn't sound so nice! D:

I remember there being a Tardis and a cheeky Dr. Who sample which made me smile so much!

[TheF126]

Remember all these! I used to love Hostages, Pysanki, Inertia, Zool, Blowpipe, Chocks Away, Repton... the list goes on!

I LOVED THIS GAME AS A KID! Is there any way I can get it again?

[madkidftw]

I, like a few others I see, love this game. They used to have it at school, I remember winning the game once! Probably one of the few games I've enjoyed enough to finish completely. I remember looking and looking for a PC version of this. Will have to give this another go (on an emulator) after so many years!

Anyone know if you can still play this any where???

I first played this game 16 years ago. And only JUST NOW have I got the joke 'chip maker'. Awesome game for a criminally underrated platform.

I loved this too. Came across it as I've recently downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog for my 5 yr old son on the wii. That got me looking at emulators and I remembered Mad Professor - didn't expect to find anything but this has brought back some good memories! I only remembered putting the stick in the crocodiles mouth until now! Shaun, you are a genius!

@shaunhw You made my childhood. :D
