Thingy And The Doodahs
Thingy And The Doodahs is one of the best of the bunch of new Americana budget releases for the Spectrum from US Gold. The game is a pretty basic dash-about-the-maze-collecting-objects-and-avoiding-nasties game. You've seen it all before - but the game is at least playable.
Thingy is a wally - not one of the Wally's you understand - just a bit of a berk who has broken his Spectrum. He sets out to collect the £60 he needs to buy a new one, chased by all sorts of refugees from Jet Set Willy's mansion.
Thingy will keep your interest for a couple of hours - but I reckon that it's about £1 too expensive even so. The graphics are very basic and so is the sound. Save your money for a better budget game.
