This was planned to be a game based on the comic book character Dennis The Menace and his dog Gnasher. It's set within Beanotown, a massive environment with every character from the comic having their own house for you to explore. The aim of the game would be to locate four of Dennis’ friends who have mysteriously disappeared, and to find them before your Dad catches up with you. Getting in your path though is Wimpy Walter and his gang of Softies, though you were to have Minnie the Minx, Roger the Dodger and Rasher (your pet pig) to help you out and solve various puzzles within the game. Finding Gnasher, you can control him with a dog whistle and get him to bite through areas of the landscape to access other routes in and out of the town. Within the game would also be an array of weaponry such as catapults and stink bombs to defend yourself with. There are some odd screens with upside down areas and spooky buildings. Apparently there would be a challenge of cramming 1500 screens of graphics into the game. It feels a bit like a cross between Fairlight and Great Escape, with a cartoon comic overlaid. As a budget kids title, this could have been a reasonable game had it been finished. A prototype was later made available. |
