Description
The Story

Bobby's family live in Technofear, a land of the future made of steel, and inhabited by things of steel. Bobby and his brothers had been warned on many, many occasions not to venture into the Metaplanes outside their home, and to give them credit they'd been pretty good about it. Good, that is, until their rogue cousin came to visit . . .

Bobby's cousin has led his brothers astray into the Metaplanes where he and the brothers have been caught and stunned by the evil Bearings that inhabit the Planes. Bobby’s task is to find his 4 brothers one-by-one and bring them back to their home, and having got all his brothers back home, perhaps then he'll consider rescuing his cousin too . . .

Goal

The converters of the Plus/4 version admit in the intro scroll that they do not know what to do with this game. The goal is to find four of his brothers (Boggle, Bungo, Bert and Barnaby) and one cousin, one-by-one, and bring them home.

Bug

The Plus/4 version is bugged unfortunately on several screens so it renders the game completion impossible. As you can save "Boogle" (4th brother) a few screens later the game screen falls apart and when you press 'Q' it freezes completely. You can exprerience some more slight glitches also once or twice.


It has been confirmed that the bug is NOT due to an $FF28 bug, or due to the music overwriting data at $D400 (another common source of bugs).



Instructions
If Bobby is trapped and unable to leave a screen, pressing "Q" will reset the screen at the cost of a time penalty.
