If your household is anything like mine, your parents occasionally start talking about incredibly weird things, laughing and doing stupid voices.

Fear not. All they're probably doing is quoting that ancient television show, Monty Python's Flying Circus. Apparently, it was the 'in' thing about sixty years ago. (If they're not quoting Python, call a doctor.)

Anyway, Tronix have finally released the game of the show at a sensible price. If you know all about Monty Python, you'll be squealing and wheezing with laughter when you see the game. All the best bits are included, and everything in it has something to do with the shows.

But the best thing is, even if you aren't a Python-tan, you can still enjoy the game. It's really well done, you see. You float around, trying to collect Spam and find bits of your brain. This means swimming through loads of screens, blasting pigs, boots and other strangenesses, and keeping your energy levels high

It's tricky, it's fast-moving and it involves planning your route. It also immense fun. Every few screens, you come across a special bit containing something your parents will recognise and hoot at, and you'll just fire at. It's got the playability to be a fun game as well as a treat for people who say Fltang Ftang a lot. Buy it if you want a strange and enjoyable experience (and you've got a face like a bat).

You don't need to be able to recite the entire Parrot Sketch to have a good time with this game. It stands up in its own right (especially if placed on a level surface).
