Story

Our good ol’ Eleuterio, the Serious Monkey, was a well known inventor. He started at a very early age with simple things such as sleeping pills or explosives, but soon grew to bigger things. Feeling lonely after Cheril left to become a Goddess, Eleuterio decided it was time to put all his knowledge to good use and build himself a beautiful female friend with whom he could spend long rainy afternoons playing cards or telling jokes.

He started with the basic mixture of fluids in a big jar. Then he started adding some vegetables, so his future friend came out nice and healthy. Then he added proteins, so she was strong. He threw in some protein afterwards, so she was strong, and finally he added phosphor so the girl was smart and intelligent. But something went bad. Maybe he made a mistake with the mixture – because what came out the jar wasn’t precisely a beautiful woman… It was a Goku Bad! A brawny short man, with spiky hair and a funny face!

Eleuterio was so angry that he took the creature and threw him to a mountain of ready-to-burn dirty socks (have you ever seen a monkey washing socks? They burn them all once they are dirty!) and flew, incredibly disgusted.

But aye, Goku Bad soon awoke, and readily understood what had happened. He began to grow a sentiment of anger that soon became a thirst for blood and revenge. Beware, Eleuterio, Goku Bad is mad and is going after you!


The game

Help Goku Bad finding Eleuterio to beat the crap out of him. You’ll have to traverse five stages full of hideous creatures, starting in the secret labs, getting past the sewers, going accross the broken bridge, stopping in a church to pick up some flowers, and finally descending the industrial zone to its very bottoms, where Eleuterio dwells. Dispose of all those disgusting monsters firing your balls of power and try not to fall in the spikes or touching the radioactive snot in the sewers.

You can use the Sinclair Interface II or Kempston joysticks, or the keyboard. The commands are as follows:
