The game was a brainchild of Don Priestley (who had previously designed [[Popeye (1985)|Popeye]] and [[Benny Hill's Madcap Chase]], for [[DK'Tronics]], and [[The Trap Door]] for Piranha) - and there are two portraits of Berk and Boni on the walls of the palace. | ||

{{Story|center=1|'''WANNA JOB?''' | |||
There's a weird one going in that famous house at | |||
the end of London's Mall. Yes, this is your chance | |||
to be a really creepy, crawly flunky in Buck House! | |||
But you'll need a few qualifications to make the | |||
grade as a menial manservant. Any good at bomb | |||
disposal, fighting rats, avoiding homicidal guards | |||
and chatting up the Royals? Quick reactions and | |||
strong nerves will earn you your pay. But win or | |||
lose, remember - life's never dull for a Flunky! | |||
