A “sports challenge” type of game, somewhat like Epyx’s legendary Olympic games, but with a comic book twist.
Bobo is a convict in the Inzepocket penitentiary, where he tries to escape in every issue—with, let’s say, limited success.
The graphics stay true to the comic, and the “events” are genuinely hilarious (serving soup to your hysterical fellow inmates, peeling mountains of potatoes, scrubbing a corridor as busy as a motorway, etc.).
That said, there are only six stages, which unceremoniously end in a game over. So, the main appeal lies in racking up more points than your friends.
Take note: the floppy disk must be write-enabled or the game won’t load.
