And now for something completely different. So who remembers that nutty TV show called Monty Python's Flying Circus? Some people thought it was brilliant and some thought it was unmitigated tosh. But nobody who watched it could ever forget the six nutters who created such classic sketches as The Spanish Inquisition, The Lumberjack Song, How To Identify Trees from Quite A Long Way Away and a personal favourite, The Spam Song. But John Cleese and the team are nowhere to be seen in Virgin's computer game of the same name. Nope...the star is Mr DP Gumby, the dim-witted cartoon character who has literally lost his mind!
Y'see his brain has split into four parts and each has done a runner, which dashes Gumby's hopes of becoming a chartered accountant. Until the rogue grey matter can be recaptured, that is.
Hello folks and welcome back to Retro Gamer Diaries. Today we are going to look at the Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Computer Game which is a 1990 scrolling shoot 'em up video game developed by Core Design. It was released by Virgin Games for Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and the ZX Spectrum. There was also a MS-DOS version and we will look at that too. Let's start by looking at the Amiga version first. So let's get started.
