A “sports challenge” type of game, somewhat like Epyx’s legendary Olympic games, but with a comic book twist.
Bobo is a convict in the Inzepocket penitentiary, where he tries to escape in every issue – with, let’s say, limited success.
The graphics stay true to the comic, and the “events” are genuinely hilarious (serving soup to your hysterical fellow inmates, peeling mountains of potatoes, scrubbing a corridor as busy as a motorway, etc.).
That said, there are only six stages, which unceremoniously end in a game over. So, the main appeal lies in racking up more points than your friends.
Take note: the floppy disk must be write-enabled or the game won’t load.
More screenshots: 1, 2, 3.
