Hi there!
Yes, this installment of the series really has a German title!
I think Auf Wiedersehen Monty was the 4th or 5th game already starring Monty Mole. It's a flick-screen platformer, made of 80+ screens, which are laid out like a map of Europe. It's pretty accurate and a pretty cool feature IMO. For example there's no straight connection to eastern Europe, you have to go by plane to west Berlin
In the game you're collecting money from every screen, and also interact with a couple of "special" items, which require you to complete a number of tasks. For example you need to pick up some tools in Germany to repair a lift in Austria.
The graphics are okay for this kind of game and the music is another classic Rob Hubbard piece. The controls are precise.
I started playing it last night already, but was too tired then to still type an article before bedtime. One thing that puzzled me: The first item you can collect in the game will make you invulnerable against touching enemies and will give you unlimited lifes. Even more puzzling, the game is _still_ very difficult and challenging then
I've been sinking ~4 hours into it last night and am now about halfway through the game. I'm not even sure if I will manage to finish it today, since I possibly made a couple of wrong route descissions already for my first try of travelling through Europe.
Greetings,
Manuel
