Castle Colditz/Battle Of The Toothpaste Tubes

"So British schwein, you dare to escape the Chermans - then suffer the torture of the toothpaste tubes!" It does look this way in this 'Double-sider' cassette from K-Tel - one game seems to be a punishment for enjoying the other. Castle Colditz is a reasonable text-only adventure in which you are trying to escape from the notorious WW2 prisoner-of-war camp. On your way out, you must collect objects to help you overcome hazards, not to mention picking up a few items of Nazi treasure.

Turn over the cassette to face Battle Of The Toothpaste Tubes if you dare! You're in control of a large blue toothpaste tube which can shoot bolts of paste at vertically scrolling toothbrushes on the right or drop paste on horizontally scrolling pink tubes below. A silly, confused game that would have been a waste of money sold on its own.
