Bonzo

This 8 or 16K game is a bit like Krazy Kong. It involves controlling a little workman to pick up boxes for points while avoiding the Bonzos. Each set has one more Bonzo than the previous one, but the boxes are worth more. Joystick or keys can be used; but if you use a stick, remember to turn the tape off - otherwise it doesn't work and the keys do (a point not made in the instructions).

The top ten high-scores can be recorded, up to ten letters, and a 'rub' facility is provided using one of the function keys.

The game is a bit boring, however; after you lose a life it resets the ladders and boxes, which takes about ten seconds each time...
