Title: Monty On The Run
Post by: BonkThis on August 13, 2007, 08:39:20 AM

http://www.screwattack.com/ "Games Yanks Can't Wank- Monty on the Run"

I dont have a direct link but screw attack has a video as the main topic on this hard game from back in the day. I found it cool to know that this actually spawned off the game impossmole on the TG. Pretty cool stuff.

I know that Keranu loves crappy old hard games so this may be right up his alley!

I had heard there was more then one Impossamole game, but never knew what the others were other then the original Impossamole for Amiga.

Yeah, there were a bunch of "Monty" games and they were popular in the UK microcomputer scene. Listen to  Slay Radio (http://www.slayradio.com/home.php) and you'll hear some C-64 remixes of some tunes from the Monty games (they're available for download as well).

Folks who are really interested in this can read some of the old reviews for the Monty series in the Zzap! archives.

Gremlin Graphics made a lot of great games... :)

The Monty games OWN, plain and simple.  8)

Here's my favorite remix of one of the tunes, done as a techno/80's cop show theme on a custom SID synth called the MIDIBox SID:

This has been in heavy rotation for a while now. Another heavy rotation fave of mine is Ghouls 'N Ghosts Poltergeist Mix.

Impossamole is actually one of the few Turbo games that I just haven't been able to enjoy! If I owned it, I'd probably spend more time with it but all the times I've played it on an emulator I just couldn't handle the silly combat system! However this Monty on the Run game looks pretty sweet actually!
