I
have always enjoyed Monty Python and I thoroughly enjoyed this program.
This program is recommend for people 17 and over. It was easy to install
and use with Windows 95. From games to TV video clips, to wild screen savers
this game has it all. This is not a game for the impatient. It takes a
while just to find the clues to start the game, then you have to find the
game. At first it was hard to figure out how to solve the secret to intergalactic
success, but after trying everything I could think of it all started to
fall into place. I never had enough time to finish it but had a lot of
fun trying.
The object of the game is to solve the secret to intergalactic success, or the really big game, which is not an easy task. There are many level to this game and that hard part is finding them. If this is too hard or boring for you there are other things for you to do. Just click on the game icon in the bottom right corner to explore Mrs. Zambesi's brain. In her brain are six scenarios: the Loonatorium, the Exploding TV Room, the Portrait Gallery, the Corridor, Test your Skill and the Pythonizer. The Pythonizer contains many new icons, wallpapers and interactive screen savers all of which are interesting.
With more than 30 of your favorite TV skits from Monty Python's Flying Circus, it will keep you entertained and laughing for hours. Everything from the Dead Parrot to Nudge, Nudge. All of them are good.
There are four weird and whacky arcade games: the Pig Game, the Gopher Game, the Chicken Game and the Pinball Game. The best of these games would have to be the pinball game because of the graphic and visual effects. Pinball is another one of those things that you have to find before you can play it. In the Pig Game you use the space bar to jump on top of little pigs falling from the sky, killing them.
The system requirements are a 486/25 MHz IBM compatible with at least 4 MB of RAM, a CD-ROM drive, a 256 color display or better, amplified speakers or headphones, a mouse or other pointing device and MS Windows 3.1 or higher.
