Mikie

If there were a prize for the most unlikely game of 1986, then Mikie would surely romp away with an Oscar. Set in an American high school, you play the high school Romeo who is out to impress his girlfriend. You do this by collecting hearts scattered around the classroom, locker room, canteen, etc while avoiding the teacher, janitor or whoever in authority stands in your way. Each heart collected builds into a message for Mikie's girlfriend. Thump your classmates (a process called 'Hip-Zapping') for extra points and to steal their hearts.

You can stun your pursuers by throwing chickens or basketballs at them, while when 'Teach' gets really mad, he starts throwing his false teeth about! In addition, as the instructions say, "Kissing is automatic!" Harrassed by the dancing girls (obviously normal in American schools) you may wonder if Mikie's girlfriend is really all worthwhile.

Well, Mikie may please some games fanatics, desperate for something different, but if you're looking for a really good game this Christmas then look elsewhere.
