Pippo is a simple arcade-style game released for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum by Mastertronic in 1986.
Help Pippo to jump on all the blocks in his world and turn them into a colour he likes. Watch out for the nasties patrolling the blocks, they will do anything in their power to hamper Pippo's progress and send him falling to oblivion. One particular nasty little specimen will even change the colour of the blocks back again leaving Pippo where he started. Fortunately, energy pills will appear every so often. GRab one of these and your enemies will all turn into springs. Pippo can then go and knock them all off the platforms. |

Highway Encounter is a strategy/action game viewed from a 3D isometric perspective. Your mission is to escort a bomb along a 30-screen highway to an alien base, navigating a gauntlet of hazards that threaten to halt your progress. You control a robotic "Vorton," supported by four extra Vortons that act as lives and automatically push the bomb forward. This setup gives the game its unique twist: your lives are active participants, not just counters.
Race ahead to clear obstacles before the bomb arrives, sometimes halting its movement to buy time. But if left unguarded, the bomb may roll into danger, costing all your extra lives. Once those lives are gone, you must push the bomb manually |

"Is that really a battery up there?". Jumping out of his car he climbs the nearest ladder. Thirsty work this, thinks Ted as he climbs the next ladder.

Charlie the Chef, keeps all the ingredients locked away in the pantry, only letting them out when he wants to cook them! Now this makes them jolly upset, let me tell you.
So, as soon as they can, the ingredients dash out of the pantry dragging all the sorts of nasties, found in the bottom of drawers and cupboards, with them, to escape, and run wild. Poor old Charlie! he has to daze the ingredients with his flour bombs and knock them into the mixing bowl, because if they go into the dustbins they will be eaten by the bin monster, who doesn't care one little bit where he throws any of his rubbish. Should any rubbish or nasties get into the cake mix then the "ingredients needed" counter will change, and Charlie will have to work quicker and faster, if he's going to bake his cake. |
