In the Forest of Canutos, past the snowy peak of Jhijhamabad, located in the Northern Noronstronski, the bolotes from the village of Mu, near Kónrad, were celebrating a big party. The joyful music sounded among the trees, the flavour of the winery and the big feast impregned the ambience, thicker and more tasteful as the night went by.

Lost among the craze, the evil Hibön the sorcerer, the greedy tetrarch from Boro, Goro, Sé and Pa, was about to execute his harmful plot: To achieve a higher magic power, he pretended to use bolote's vital energy, heavy on rays, lightnings and ectoplasms. He had chosen the best chance: the bolotes, drunk and docile, feeling like never giving up partying, won't resist at all. Like the legendary Hamelin flute player, he would mislead them to "keep partying elsewhere", and that was exactly what he did. Forming a huge caravan, the bolotes submissively left the Canutos forest heading to Hibön's realms.

Moggy, the key figure of all parties, didn't have a good one that night. Somewhat away from the binge, he was sleeping it off way too soon. The mouthwashes from the Fairies and spiritis were making a mess in his stomach, and his mouth still burned for smoking of all those herbs from around the river, when he got up feeling lost, maybe awaken by the deafening silence which had spread across the whole valey.

Stumbling, and without a complete control upon his moves, he discovered in awe that, in the far, really too much far away, a stooped shape guided the whole population of Mu to a dark horizon. Trying to focus with his reddened eyes, he soon recognized the figure as Hibön. That couldn't be anything good, so, the best he could, he began a dangerous trip to rescue his friends.

How this is played

The sorcerer had been setting each bolote, heavy on drugs and tied to the floor using a magical seal, in each one of the 25 meadows which exist from the Canutos forests to his own realms. Hibön, completely unknowing Moggy didn't follow the other bolotes, was sure about having set each bolote in an strategic place so they could serve as energy streams everywhere he went.

Moggy's task is freeing his friends from their seals. Because those magic seals, the bolotes had become bright pink, and that helped Moggy to distinguish them in the darkness. Moggy first thought that it shouldn't be much too hard: he just had to go from friend to friend breaking their seals. Nevertheless, he wasn't fully conscious about the dangers which awaited him.

First of all, the meadows were full of poisoned bushes, coloured in fosforescent green. With the slightest friction, the bushes segregated a poison which weakened the guy who had the fad fortune to touch them. Besides, some ranos, paid by Hibön, cared about what happened in the Meadows. And, what's more, Moggy was still a bit drunk and that wasn't gonna help him move in a gracious way!

However, Moggy knew that saving his fellas was his duty. Drunken or not, that was something he had to do! Heroes never choose the situations, so even if this one looked really adverse, he couldn't just lie and sleep it off!

Gameplay

Your goal in each screen is getting each one of your pink friends, avoiding touching the green bushes.

You can use the keys O P Q A or the Sinclair Joystick on port #1 to control Moggy. But beware, it ain't as easy as it looks: the state in which Moggy is at (i.e. he's drunk!) makes him response in an odd way to your commands. If he is running right at top speed and we press "DOWN", the acceleration in this direction will be gradual, and the trajectory will descrive a curve. If we want to deccelerate, we have to press the opposite direction so the speed decreases little by little.
