[edit] Description

Bozo is the main character of the game.The challenge sounds easy; you have to get out of Bozos favourite pub "Gibbons" and need to get back home. But on your way home you´ll run into many dangerous situations.If you want to stay hidden, you can try to make your way trough the park.There, ghosts, dragons and other monsters are lurking around which all want to tear Bozo apart. If you prefer another way, you can take the way straight home by hitting the streets (Bozo is a neighboor of Gibbons, no wonder he´s drunk every night).But be careful, the streets aren´t less dangerous than the park.There you can run into hooligans, cops and grannies, who all seem to dislike poor Bozo. On top of that, Bozo gets more drunk every evening, so it gets more difficult to control him.After 20 pints, controls aren´t precise anymore and after 50 pints, Bozo sometimes gets unconscious and you can´t control him for a short period of time.

[edit] Design

Graphics are quiet decent in comparison with games of that age.There are some well made, big sprites and detailed backgrounds which look good for a game of 1984.

[edit] Hints

Later in the game, when Bozo starts to get seriously drunk, you should try to keep your enemys on the same screen which you are on (the programm only creats three enemies, when all of them are on the same screen and chase after you, no one can run into you from the front by surprise).

When they are after you, wait till they almost got you, run a small distance and then wait again.This way, you can make it home inch by inch.
