Aim of the game
You must help Wally Week build a series of cars.
Game play
There are two basic screens. The first is the stock room -
Wally must collect the car parts one at a time and take them through
the door to the assembly plant. This is where the finished car takes
shape (and it looks very like a Citroen 2CV!). Wally simply has to
walk over the appropriate area of the vehicle with his carried part
and that part is added to the car. Then it's back to the stock room
again.
The game is, as usual, made more difficult by the various hazards,
which include robots, runaway tyres and falling air cooling blades.
Fortunately, Wally can jump over these. As well as this the gantries
in the stock room keep moving in and out and there are also various
bonusesm such as oil cans and teapots, scattered around.
In all, there are 10 levels. Once Wally has finished building a car,
it is driven away and he must start building a new model. The further
you get, the harder it gets...
Comments

A slow, rather poor and very aged platform game.
