I've been on a nostalgia tip of late and actually dug out and dusted off my trusty old C64 fro a trip down memory lane.
From this, I came across this old classic and was wondering if anyone else remembered it. It's perhaps one of the msot unusual games ever created.
The aim was to make your humanoid avatar a complete human being, and you did this by negotiating a quotidian suburbia, partaking in a number of minigames (which could be found by playing with the environment).
You found yourself climbing into paintings and video screens, feeding cats that opened portals into gardens where you had to catch falling flowers, shooting cardboard cutouts of politicians in a fairground shooting range amongst many other things.
The one sure thing about this game was its sheer unpredictability. It didn't really have anything to do with the 80s pop group beyond the use of their music (on the C64 version anyway) and the fact that the character you controlled looked like the one in their logo. As such, it was a weird choice for a license, though that was part of the charm.
My mate at school had the Spectrum version, which was the same apart from the lack of music. It was also shy of a one or two levels featured in the C64 version.
I never did beat this game, but I came close (99%). So does anyone else remember this odd but very compelling title?
