Mikro Gen have taken five Wallies and one Wallette and built an arcade adventure around them.

Wally made his first appearance in Automania, and Pyjamarama. He has now been joined by Wilma, Herbert and Tom, Dick and Harry to form the Gang.

The Gang are Wally's family and in this game he has to break into a safe in the local bank in order to get money to pay them for work they have carried out for him.

First each character must do his work. Wally is 'the gaffer' and he must see to it that Dick the plumber, Tom the punk mechanic, and Harry the hippie electrician all get their work done.

Wilma is Wally's wife and she has been given the job of shopping (don't bother to write and complain girls. These guys really are Wallies. They think being sexist means they might have an outside chance of appearing on page 7 of their favourite newspaper as a Sun Fella).

Herbert is a baby and he is no use to you. Avoid contact with him as he drains your energy.

The individual tasks are the main play-challenge of the game. And pretty tough they are too. For each job you first have to assemble the tools you need. In many cases you will have to find your way around Wallytown to locate them.

It would spoil the game if I were to tell you how to work out any of these puzzles, but the Wally song on the flip side of the cassette is worth listening to.

It was a difficult job to make a game based on something as contrived as Wallyism but Mikro Gen have managed it admirably.
