Beer Belly Bert's Brew Biz

Beer Belly Bert has been caught on the hop. His brewing business is going to pot - and that's not a reference to Bert's pot-belly.

On top of that, Bert's partner, Clyde, has hired hundreds of gunmen to shoot him on sight. But Bert can shoot back and leap over speeding bullets. That leads to another dose of platform pandemonium as Bert battles bravely through the 32 screens of his Brew Biz - covering shipping, production and quality control.

The aim of the game is to move Bert through all the screens as fast as possible and collect the maximum number of points.

On the way, he must collect various keys to allow him access to the next screen. Besides avoiding the gunmen, Bert must ride wagons, avoid spark generators, use air vents, escalators and lifts.

Lovers of platform games should be able to work up a thirst over his frantic antics.
