Jack the Nipper II

Jack and his family have been deported to Australia. Unhappy with this, Jack has jumped from the plane, using his nappy as a parachute and landed in the middle of the African jungle. He is now in danger and must fight wild animals (that wear sunglasses!) and natives, throwing coconuts at them. This sequel is really funny. First, it is huge and the graphics are really different from one area to the next. There are many places to explore and it�s easy to get lost in this game. You must always be ready to face either upcoming enemies (such as bats, birds, locals, elephants etc but in a very funny and cartoonish way) or deadly pits, waters, lava and so on. Most of the time you must take a quick decision before someone or something gets you. Some of the nasties can be just avoided by jumping over them, and some other must be shot using .. coconuts (limited ammo though). The game is really fun to play but hard to progress. It�s rather difficult, and you must move very carefully. Eventually, the action is pleasant and... well, this is a very good platform game and one of my favorites back to the days!

The C64 version featured nice colorful graphics with several details (jungles, rivers, temples etc), but the CPC (and Spectrum!) version look better and funnier. Backgrounds and sprites though run way faster and smoother on the C64 version which makes the game even more playable.
Sound is nice too, offering a funny intro tune, whilst there are several cute SFX during gameplay (along with some short-tunes here and there).
