Box artwork for Flunky.
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!
