1986 - Mikro Gen
by David Perry, Nick Jones snd Neil Strudwick

The fifth and final chapter of the Wally Week games.
This time Wally is lost in a tropical island he chose for he and his family to take a vacation.
But Wilma and Herbert got caught by the Can Nibbles tribe who have a predeliction for human flesh.
Wally is all alone in the Jungle looking for his loved ones.
To rescue them from the Can Nibbles tribe Wally must find certain objects he will encounter along the way.
If you have played other Wally games you will understand the mechanics of the game.

Generally the game is a step forward from the previous titles, and maintains the high quality of the collection.

Gameplay: Solve various pun related puzzles involving carry or dropping an object at a specific location, while avoid enemies and terrain dangers.

This is probably the best of the Wally Week games (although 'Everyone's A Wally' may fit this title for many) with great graphics and sound and an interesting map to explore.

However, these games have not aged so well as the puzzles are fairly torturous to solve, involving remembering where everything is and walking around for ages. Most people will need to check a hints guide at some point if they try to play through this to completion as the puzzles are really not very intuitive due to their 'humourous' nature.

Fun in it's day but too slow and long and requiring incredible feats of memory to get through.

Another week another morning at the office.


Today Three Weeks in Paradise, a luminous, colorful and melodic game, which for nothing but that already deserves one of the highest possible ratings.
But somehow I lower that Rating from 5 because the addings in the 128K version are ridiculous
