Pancake - Commodore 64 - longplay [real hardware]
4When i said Minotaurus was our expert Commodore 64 digger i wasn't lying, look what he played this time :D
A bizarre attempt to create a bizarre game with a bizarre plot, where a pancake intended to feed many children becomes alive and decides to escape.
This concept actually comes from a Norvegian tale from XVIII century:
"A pancake mysteriously comes to life when fried, and he naturally gets scared when he hears that it will become food.
He manages to bounce off the pan and rolls out of the house quickly. Unfortunately, he keeps hitting people and fairies who want to gnaw at him and he runs away from each one.
Eventually he meets a pig, who apparently doesn't want to eat the pancake, but wants to help him further. Pancake decides to trust the pig.
Together with the pig they get to a stream, and the pancake does not understand how to cross it. But the pig knows how to help. He convinces the pancake to jump onto his snout so he can carry it to the other side. The pancake does as the pig says and is immediately eaten. So the fairy tale is over, learning a little lesson about trusting strangers too much.
