A great game... You can be as naughty as you always wanted to be, but it certainly isn't child's play. Read Review
A fantastic game. Read Review
While the puzzles are not immediately obvious they aren't overly hard either... Closet vandals will have lots of fun with Jack The Nipper. Read Review
Cartoon graphics and masses of brain teasers, all very nicely done. This'll sort out who are the wimps. Read Review
Graphics are impressive, with a neat sense of perspective, and the whole thing is fast and furious. Read Review
The Bash Street Kids are back! Jack The Nipper will be a confident hit I'm sure, bearing, as it does, all the hallmarks of a lasting favourite. Read Review
It's quite simple and enjoyable, though perhaps not quite up to the usual standard of Gremlin's games. Read Review
Jack was tired of all the wimps in his town. Their boring goody, goody ways sent him to sleep. "Time to liven things up a little," Jack thought.
Control Jack in his antics, creating mayhem through the small town. Peashooter in one hand and whatever he can find in the other. The naughtier you are, the higher your score. So get out there and do your worst!!
Jack was tired of all the wimps in his town, their boring games and goody-goody ways sent him to sleep. So Jack, being of a rather naughty disposition, set about livening things up a bit, he picked up his trusty pea-shooter and scarpered off to cause some trouble.
This is where you come in to take on the role of Jack and use your imagination to be as naughty as possible doing the things you always wanted to do but dare not! (You wimp!) Jump on things, pick them up and drop them, use your pea-shooter to create smashing effects and toot your horn at the cat.
Use the items you pick up wisely then you must work out where you have to drop them to cause ultimate havoc. For instance, what would you do with a tube of glue?
