Monty on the Run Spectrum game recreated with a hamster

Posted by John Brownlee, July 21, 2008 3:39 AM | permalink

According to Wikipedia's entry on the ancient Spectrum game Monty on the Run, the titular Monty is a union-busting mouldywurp who must flee Britain and find a way over the treacherous English channel to find criminal safe haven in Cold War Europe. I do not remember this surprisingly intricate plot, but the graphics, gameplay and Rob Hubbard's incredible soundtrack are unforgettable.

More unforgettable, still: this YouTube video of Monty on the Run, recreated with a curious hamster and a maze of pixel-perfect dioramas.

Funny and adorable.

I know it's juvenile, but the ghost hitting it in the butt was a great moment.

Good stuff, BBG!

Oh, it's old.

I guess it sucks then. No use in showing people stuff that exists already.
