[edit] Description

You play Freddie who is chased by monsters while collecting buckets full of gold pieces. The speciality in this game is that Freddie cannot walk past a ladder leading up, but only is allowed to walk back or up. Another difference to other games of the same genre is that you can constantly hear hit parade sounds as a background music.

[edit] Design

The graphics aren't bad, but they are not very exciting. The music, while repetitive, is decent.

[edit] Hints

Operation completely by joystick, where the fire button has no function. Even the entry into the highscore list is done by joystick.

[edit] Critics

Sledgie: "For my playing abilites concerning such collecting games Frantic Freddie is just to hard. I think the idea with the ladders is unique and good."

Guybrush: "One of many collecting games, which existed in the beginning years of the C64 era and one of the better ones of its kind."

Robotron2084: "Frustrating and difficult platformer with entrancing music and acute addictive potential. 8 out of 10 points."
