Danger Mouse in Double Trouble/Episode 1



Time: 8:00 Welcome to the game. If keyboard controls are selected, use the 9 and I keys to direct Danger Mouse's Mark III car up and down and avoid crashing into Greenback's robotic ducks (which bear a striking resemblance to the original version of Count Duckula), while using the 1 and 2 keys to select the colour of robotic duck that is flying towards the car; when it matches, that respective colour of robotic duck's repellant tune will get heard from the car's radio. In the "easy" mode, this will initially be done automatically, but you'll eventually have to select the correct colour of robotic duck yourself - and you'll receive between 10 and 35 points, for repelling the robotic ducks, based upon how quickly they were flying. The magenta one is also Agent 57 in disguise; you'll also receive a special bonus of 100 points for flying into him (but you shall have to line up the car with him at the last moment, which will be impossible if he should appear at its current altitude, or just line it up so that it's still close enough to touch him). The bottom-right corner of the screen shows the view through the car's windscreen (Penfold and Danger Mouse will say "Crumbs!" and "Good grief!" when a robotic duck comes flying towards the car), while the bottom-left corner shows the visual display unit of the car's computer - and it shows the remaining distance to the jungle in miles and a picture of the colour of robotic duck it is currently set to repel. The centre of the screen also shows Greenback and Danger Mouse playing tug-of-war; the numbers on the left and right sides of them are skill levels that they are aiming for. You must try to work your way through the skill levels by repelling as many robots as possible (every robot repelled causes Danger Mouse to pull to the right and every robot missed causes Greenback to pull to the left) - and the higher your skill level, the faster the car will fly, and the quicker Danger Mouse and Penfold will arrive at Episode 2: The Jungle (which takes up eight screens).
