Benny Hill’s Madcap Chase on the ZX Spectrum…
Prepare yourself for an uproarious journey into the world of Benny Hill and his misadventures in helping his neighbours.
Our dear Benny, in all his magnanimity, has generously volunteered to rescue the laundry of Mrs. Harras, who, of course, decided it was the perfect time to abandon her washing and go on a shopping spree. How thoughtful of her! And where will you find our heroic Benny? Why, right in front of the laundry basket, waiting eagerly to showcase his laundry-collecting prowess.
But beware, dear player, for the path between Benny and the precious clothesline is not a walk in the park. Oh no! It is riddled with an assortment of “street furniture” and random objects scattered about, just to add a touch of excitement to your laundry-fetching escapades. And let’s not forget the ever-charming Local Council, who, in their infinite wisdom, can’t seem to make up their minds about where to place lamp posts and other inconspicuous items. How utterly unpredictable!
Oh, but the adventure doesn’t end there! Brace yourself for the comedic misunderstanding that awaits Benny as he valiantly attempts to fulfil his good deed. Imagine this: unsuspecting members of the public, witnessing Benny carrying the laundry or briskly running along the street, completely misconstruing his noble intentions.
And what do they do? They chase after him! Caught in their clutches, Benny will face the consequences, my friend. He will be “dealt with” in ways only Benny Hill can experience, and the item he carries so valiantly will be returned to its rightful place—because who doesn’t appreciate the art of returning laundry mid-flight? And oh, those persistent chasers will continue to harass our poor Benny, just to keep the excitement levels at an all-time high. Luckily, a trusty “WATCH OUT” sign will warn you of their impending presence. How considerate!
Now, remember, dear player, time is of the essence. You must collect all the clothes within the given timeframe. But here’s the catch—you can only carry one item at a time. The suspense, the thrill, the laundry-filled adrenaline rush—prepare yourself for the ultimate test of laundry management skills!
And if, by some miraculous twist of fate, you manage to gather all the laundry on time, Benny’s adventure doesn’t end there. Oh no! You’ll be rewarded with yet another task—the delightful apple-picking extravaganza for the absent Mr. Bramley. And just when you think you’ve had your fill of virtuous deeds, there’s a final challenge waiting—collecting jumble items bought by none other than Mrs. Bargin. Thrilling, isn’t it?
So grab your virtual laundry basket, don your running shoes, and embark on this hilariously absurd journey with Benny Hill’s Madcap Chase! Published by the illustrious DK’Tronics in the distant year of 1985, this game promises to entertain and tickle your funny bone. Happy laundering, my friend!
