Flunky, later rereleased as Mad Flunky, is an adventure game, that was released by Piranha on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 in 1987; its main character (the eponymous "Flunky") is a servant at Buckingham Palace performing tasks for Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson and Princess Diana (1961-1997). The game was a brainchild of Don Priestley (who had previously designed 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.
