Full Instructions
The Life Of Repton
Repton is back in a forty screen adventure following his exploits from infant to OAP.
Crawl through the world of Baby Repton, try to get schoolboy Repton to school on time.
Then it's Ghetto blasters and punk rock as he hits his teens...
Off to work as Repton battles with computers and an irate Office Manager.
Finally, polish up those war medals and you can help Grandad Repton search for his false teeth and spectacles.
