A double helping of fun is on the menu when you taste this mouth-watering offering from Ocean. Hero of the show is that traditional British dish, the Wimpy hamburger.
In the first stage of the 100 per cent machine code program as Mr. Wimpy you take a tray and cross the screen Frogger-style avoiding the attentions of Waldo the burger thief and moving manhole covers!
If successful in hanging onto your tray, you now have one of the three ingredients for a Wimpy which you have to carry back to the start. Repeat for each ingredient and you move to the next stage where you dash round the kitchen making the Wimpy ingredients drop onto a plate.
The villains in part two are kitchen rebels against which your only defence is a limited supply of pepper replenished only if you pick up bonus gems, ice creams or a cup of coffee.
The game, playable with keyboard or joystick, has very good graphics with particularly smooth movement. All in all, a good example of the tremendous improvement in Spectrum game graphics on recent offerings.
