Synopsis

Plot

In this game you play Bertie Bungle, one of the infamous Bungle Brothers who are well known for their failures in the criminal world. For example, there was the time that Brian was run over by the gangs' own getaway car.

But perhaps the worst episode occurred only three weeks ago when you all robbed the 1st National Midland Bank. Brian and Billy pulled off the raid successfully, but then spoilt it by running into the wrong car, leaving you waiting like a lemon in the right one.

They of course were easily caught and brought to justice, but not before they hid the proceeds of your heist.

Unfortunately, they didn't tell you where they hid the dosh, but you're sure that they wouldn't let you go unprovided for. So you plan to find it before someone else does. It shouldn’t be too difficult for the mastermind behind an international crime network you convince yourself.

Good luck!

Notes

Originally written in GAC on the BBC Micro by Aran Johnson. The BBC Games Archive lists the date for this release as 1985.


The 1990 Archimedes version was converted to BBC BASIC 5 by James J. Farmer.

This has been miscategorised - only a small part of it is in Basic, the main code being in assembler.

There are a few tweaks needed to the entry, which I will make, but the IF Archive download does mention that the Arch version was produced with BBC BASIC 5.
