- This is the 3rd in the series of graphical adventures by Asa, if
- my memory serves me correctly. In this game, I supplied him with the
- plot, although he changed the original idea slightly.
-
- The objective of this small PD game is to try and capture a
- bad-ass renegade by the name of Mutant Mickey, and retrieve an
- invaluable golden coin he has stolen from a museum. The game is played
- with the mouse, as is all of the graphic adventures written by Asa,
- and basically, you just click on the screen at what you want, and all
- actions are automatically performed.

-
- ý
- There is some thinking involved however, such as where you get a
- particular key from, or how to recover a map. The game itself is
- actually quite small, which is hardly surprising for one-disk freeware
- production. The games he did after this have got slightly bigger in
- length, and also have more of a variety of puzzles to try and solve.
-
- Graphics wise, the game is very good. You can tell the artwork of
- Asa a mile off by the way he draws his cartoon images, as he has a
- character font of his own. Have YOU ever seen your mom with a yellow
- face? or maybe a paranoid scitzafrenic with a purple face? Well, there
- you have it.
-
- This is a puzzle game which should keep you going for a couple of
- hours. The entire game was made into a programming diary, and featured
- in WAC (the Whitby AMOS Club magazine) and covers all areas of writing
- these kind of games. For more information on this, Contact P. Gumsley.
