Aim of the game
Having escaped from prison to a hideaway in Gibraltar, Monty
Mole finds that he's not safe from the attentions of Intermole, the
international crime fighting organisation. Monty's only hope of
salvation lies on a Greek island, but only if he can acquire
sufficient monies to buy it. Before he can do that, Monty must pass
through Europe, performing at least one task in each of its nations.
Game play
There are 80 platform-filled screens in all. As you
explore them, you will come across items to help him to complete the
required tasks. Such items must be picked up (by walking into them)
and taken to the right place before they can be used. Up to four items
can be carried at any one time, with these displayed at the bottom
left of the screen.
Money is gathered in the form of Eurocheques, or earned whenever
Monty completes a task. Points are also scored by picking up objects.
Your account is shown at the bottom of the screen. Air tickets let
you into the Air Terminals. From here you can fly to another location
and straight into a dog-fight with the Intermole air force. Further
points can be gained by shearing off the enemy planes' tailplanes.
Only when every task in the game has been completed, every Eurocheque
collected and Monty's Swiss bank account number acquired, can the
money be called safe and the island purchased.
Comments
"A fine continuation of the long-standing Monty Mole
theme."

Quite a nice game, but rather simple by modern standards.
