Pink Pills: Manic Moritz And The Meds, is Sebastian Braunert's second CPC game he has coded with multi platform development tool, MPAGD (Arcade Game Designer) and coincidentally he has received second placing in the #8BITANNUALDEV, Basic category. This game is entirely based on Sebastian's, cute, real life dog, Moritz.

Moritz, he is the best dog in the world but unfortunately he is not well. The vet has pumped him full of meds and as a result he has been having illusions and strange dreams. In his mind he finds himself being hunted by crazy postman, bloodsucking vampires, even sharks and octopus. The only way out is to collect all the bones scattered around in each level of this one player platformer and make your way to the Tardis to transport him onto the next level in his mind journey so that he can finally meet the real "DOCTOR" in the tardis and have a happy ending.

Music is what makes this game so enjoyable, it's not often said on CPC games in particular games from the 1980's, but this is definitely one of those games where the music is so much more than the rest of the game. 9 lives that's cool, you should be able to complete the game.

The frustration of completing some levels. Just when you think you have collected all the bones along comes and enemy and wipes out all your "Moritz CPC" energy bar. You seem unable to escape or limit the damage.

It's old school platforming with quite a few negatives, but they aren't catastrophic, I am sure many out there have played much worse. I don't loathe it, it's quite enjoyable and fun at times, with a puppy dog charm about it. The music is a stand out, a new tune on each level keeps you invested in playing for longer than you think you would, play it just to hear the tunes.
