Review of 'Booty'

Rating:3 User: sometimesblue

You could tell the poor kids from the rich kids at primary school in 1984. The rich kids all got Knightlore for Christmas (At least, those that didn't have a BBC) and the poor ones got Booty.

From the early range of Firebird games for £2.50, Booty was the only half decent one amongst it. Like later budget titles Finders Keepers and Feud, everyone has a copy somewhere in the attic nestling next to Make A Chip and Survival.

Otherwise its a competent platform game. Dodge left and right on each screen, collect the keys, open the door and hope that it leads onto the next screen rather than flood the boat. Similar to Mr Freeze released at the same time, but with less flicker. Its not a lot of fun today.
