Danger Mouse in the Black Forest Chateau/Part 2

The world's greatest secret agent, Danger Mouse, and his assistant, Penfold, are on a top secret mission.

''The world's leaders are going bananas, as a mysterious Pi-beam zaps them. The source of the beam has been traced to a spot deep in the Black Forest.''

Danger Mouse and Penfold have found their way into an old Chateau, but have fallen into a fiendish trap.

Now you, as Danger Mouse, must find and destroy the Pi-beam machine, before it makes mince-meat of the world's leaders.

''The beam strikes the mirror lodged in the dome slot, and bounces back to the machine. There is a loud explosion, and a puff of pastry. The beam machine is covered in rhubarb and begins to crumble. A large plum pudding falls on the floor next to you.''

''Penfold emerges from the middle of the plum pudding, and says, "Cor Chief! I feel a prune". "Stop fooling around Penfold," you mutter.''

Back in London, Colonel K. calls. "Well done!", the Colonel says, "You have saved the World yet again." "It's a pity that bounder Greenback got away, but at least you made sure that his plans were nothing more than pie in the sky!"

THE END

You will then have to turn off the console; Danger Mouse and Penfold later returned to home computers for Danger Mouse in Making Whoopee in 1985, which would be the last official Danger Mouse game until the release of Danger Mouse: Quiz for iOS in 2010 (but two years before it in 2008, this game received an unofficial remake for the Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and GP2X operating systems, which featured stills from the show as backgrounds).
