An interesting little game starring Louis the Hipsid Cotton Rat. He's on a mission from the Bee Fly Ptarmigan to go and retrieve some knickerbockers.
Anyway, a cute little game that doesn't have a lot going for it graphically, but has some nice gameplay features, including shapeshifting. Sequel to Yapok Sundria (ZZT).
The bizzare humour makes it worth a play if you have some extra time on your hands.

The game is pretty poor graphics wise but it has some interesting ideas, the mgae plays alot like xf's King's Castle only more buggy and much larger. Because of the bugs this game get put down quite a fair bit.

If released today, this game would definitely get a two. However, this was one of the first "third-party" complete games for MegaZeux.

This game is a favorite of quirksters and loong-time MZXers; it's a classic on its personality alone. The Yapok-Sundria MZX game, along with its ZZT prequel, has lots of charm and personality; inmate's especially fond of using Yapok-Sundria lines as his IRC quit message. As such, however, the rest of the game is pretty mediocre. There's the character switching motif, the first "3D maze" in MegaZeux (with confusing directionals and incredibly simplistic), a simple boss section, and lots of remorseless scavenging. To top it all off, the game has a tendency to kill you off if you forget one little thing. DAMN YOU, LIBRARY BOOK RETURNS.

Two today, but this game deserves more than that. It's a pioneer. I'm counterbalancing with a four.

Terryn is right- this game is an important piece in MZX's history, and considering other released games at the time (virtually nonexistant- and those that were around sucked, save for the Zeux series) certainly deserves a good score.

This is such an important game in MZX history, seriously, as well as the source of a lot of awesome quoting... also, the spork is on the shelf in the kitchen.
