Edd the Duck

Template:Infobox Edd the Duck is a Rainbow Islands-style platform game that was released by Impulze on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga in 1990; it is based on the BBC television puppet of that same name, who first appeared on The Broom Cupboard with Andy Crane in 1989. The seventh round of the ZX and CPC versions is infamous, because it only has nineteen stars instead of twenty (therefore rendering it impossible to clear) - however, when Ian Copeland converted it for the C64 and Amiga, he corrected this problem (and even added a cheat mode for the latter one).

Edd the Duck, superstar, pop singer, and all round cool dude, starts his new series on BBC1 this week. The series, split into nine episodes, chronicles his exciting escapades around the various departments of the BBC Television Centre. Could this be the program to launch Edd's superstardom onto a new plane? Watch out on a small screen near you..... © BBC Enterprises Limited 1990
