Round the Bend

Round the Bend, full-titled as Round the Bend: Doc Croc's Outrageous Adventures, is a platform game that was released by Impulze upon the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga in 1991; it is based on the Hat Trick Productions and Yorkshire Television puppet series of the same name, which focused on a quartet of animals (in addition to Doc Croc himself, there were three rats named Lou Brush, Vince, and Jemima) producing a comic in the sewer. The game's story is that Doc Croc accidentally blew up Lou Brush's printing press scattering pages of the comic's latest issue all over the sewer - so Doc, Vince and Jemima now have to search the drains to find them, while Lou tries to reconstruct the printing press. When they find a page, he (or she, for the case of Jemima) will be drawn into a minigame, inside it; however, each character can only be drawn into the pages of the comic he (or she, in the case of Jemima) writes and only Lou can pick up pieces of the printing press.
