> MONTY ON THE RUN by Gremlin Graphics


• Completed & Reviewed by Vinny Mainolfi

Can you believe it? This game ending has been in the offline archive for 12 years and I only found it a few months back when searching through some old Commodore 64 disks! What else have I missed?!!

For me, Monty on the Run is the ultimate Commodore 64 platform game that I love playing over and over again. It normally takes me a fave goes to complete the game, but it is so much fun to go through and has quite a nice little ending ...


Old Monty has finally reached his designation and waits for
his transport to freedom.


Freedom arrives in the form of a little chug-boat.


Monty hops in and heads for brighter shores.


There he goes ... BYE, MONTY.


GAME OVER = THE END.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?: Believe it or not, I actually played through the whole of this game (that's a first!) to obtain the ending.

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: Monty comes running on to the screen where he stands and waits at the Port's edge. A small (empty) boat enters the screen from the left and approaches Monty. Monty hops onto the boat and sails it out to sea.

COMMENTS:

  • Vinny: This isn't a particularly long or impressive game ending, but for some reason it completes the game perfectly. It's cute, colourful and fun - not to mention Rob Hubbard's sound track playing away in the background. Some of you may think that 7 out of 10 is a little high, but I think it's a perfect score for a great ending (",)

  • Andrew Fisher: I think 7/10 is spot on, it's a nice touch at the end of a difficult game.

  • Neil Collins: One of the few games I completed as a kid. Perfect platform game with awesome music. The ending is spot on in my opinion. 7 / 10 is the right score.

  • Brendan Phoenix: Spot on! 7/10 is the perfect score - ok it's short but its a brilliant end to a brilliant game. Concludes it brilliantly with Monty escaping on the boat.

FINAL SAY: Check it out!

G.E. RATING: 7 / 10
