Felix In The Factory

This enjoyable game makes it to the Commodore in fine style.

Felix is a nightwatchman in a factory who has to keep a generator running by supplying it with oil. The display shows six walkways connected by ladders, which change position every time you lose a life. The bottom level is a moving conveyor belt carrying parcels.

You start on the second level on the right hand side, next to the generator. To get to the main playing area you have to descend to the conveyor belt and get to the other end by jumping packages.

If you fall over the boxes you'll be all right unless you are rolled off screen, then a life is lost.

A ladder at the left end of the belt leads you into the rest of the factory. Prowling around are the gremlins which have a lethal touch, and a giant rat which occasionally scuttles across a walkway.

An oil can, a pitchfork and a bag of poison appear at random. All three objects can be collected by jumping while you're underneath them but you can only carry one at a time.

The oil can has to be taken back to the generator to keep it going, otherwise the machine will stop and you lose all your lives. The pitchfork can be used to knock the gremlins off the walkways for a bonus but disappears after a while.

The bag of poison can be placed in the path of the giant rat to kill it. The rat can also be jumped over if you time it right.

The oil runs out quickly and so it's best to concentrate on replenishing the generator. You could be burning the midnight oil yourself if you get addicted to this game.
