Blitzen who has plans to destroy the world. Herbert
Dummy Run is set in a toy store with young Herbert trying
to find his lost parents and eating jelly babies as he goes to
keep his strength up.
Attack of the Mutant Camels is one of the first games
that I ever played on the 64 and it is still a classic blast from

The Adventures of Bond- Basildon Bond, based on the Russ
Abbot character. The object is to match jokes with

spoiling it for you. Go out and buy it_
