This wacky adventure puts you in the shoes of Bud Tucker, a pizza delivery
boy who also has a job as a lab assistant during the nights. The story involves some
fantastic features, mad scientist and robots. One day, Bud found the Professor
missing and later learns he's been kidnapped by the evil Dick Tate. Tate, an insane,
whiny sob wishes to create a world filled with the people he loves most...himself.
To do that, he plans to use one of the Professor's inventions and clone a billion
versions of himself to populate the world. It's up to Bud Tucker to track down the
loon and the Professor before Barryville becomes Tate Town. It's a point & click
adventure where you must travel to various locations in Barryville and find clues
and help from the citizens there. The game play consists of picking up items and using
them when necessary. There are 3 parts in the game and in the first part, Bud Tucker
is locked up in a crumbly hotel in Seedy Street. Speech is available in the game as
well as subtitles. The menu (pick up, use, etc) can be displayed in words as well as
icons. This cartoon adventure is sadly little known because Eidos cancelled its plan
to distribute the game in the U.S... probably due to poor sales in Europe, which is
probably due to lack of marketing. Because: it's a fun and solid game in every respect
with a wacky plot, though disappointingly short. |
