Bozo´s Night Out
Been too long since the last time I have reviewed one of those... strange computer games from the old times. Been messing around with my Commodore 64-mini, USB-drive and have offcourse added some extra games to the damn thing.
One of the games which I didn't have as a kid was a game simply called Bozo´s Night Out. Surfing the various sites for old computer games, I stumbled upon it. The title alone makes you wonder, and also the cover-artwork as well. Obviously, a drunkard walking down a lane, with a skinhead looking angry at him behind a wall... while he is getting closer to an opened manhole! This game MUST be fun, no doubt about it! So let us get a closer look at it.
The game itself was released back in 1984 by Taskset, programmed by Tony Gibson (R.I.P). Commodore 64 was the only platform on which this game was released for.
The game starts with your first night out as Bozo, having his very first pint of lager. After this one pint, then you have to get home to bed offcourse. But on the way from the bar and to your home, you have to avoid various obstacles offcourse. You don´t want to walk straight into skinheads, beautiful ladies or a copper otherwise you´ll end up straight into the hospital! After the visit to the hospital, you´ll start over offcourse (back in the bar drinking!).
If you succeed in getting Bozo home to his bed, then you´ll continue with level 2 which means that the next night out Bozo he will drink more pints. This then means that Bozo will be harder and harder to control with your joystick!. How fun can a game be?!. There are offcourse some short-cuts in the game as well, take a walk through the park which offcourse inhabits monsters and other kinds of nasties!.
So what are you waiting for? Buy some beers and invite your friends over, having a night out with Bozo on the Commodore 64-mini is all worth it!.
