Wanted! Monty Mole (1984)
With a long, cold winter ahead, Monty Mole makes a daring, coal
snatching raid to his local South Yorkshire pit. Do battle with
flying pickets, mammal eating fish, crushers, roaming drills,
hovering hairspray and more. Surfacing in Arthur’s castle, you
must find the only thing that can defeat him: a ballot paper.
Monty on the Run (1985)
After being sprung from Scudmore Prison by Sam Stoat, Monty Mole
now makes a bid for freedom. Dodge tricky enemies and hazards,
collect gold coins, and get to the cross-channel ferry.
Auf Wiedersehen Monty (1987)
Having fled the UK, Monty continues to be hounded by the
authorities, and has now caught the attention of Intermole, who
are in hot pursuit! He must travel across Europe, gathering
enough cash to finally settle down on his own private
Mediterranean island, away from persecution.
Moley Christmas (1987)
It’s Christmas, and Monty is celebrating the season with a brand
new game to be given away with copies of a computer magazine.
Bizarrely, the game itself tells the story of Monty delivering
the very same game to the magazine’s offices! Jump, climb, dodge
hazards and pick up items across four levels.
Sam Stoat: Safebreaker (1985)
The mustelid malefactor Sam Stoat, who previously sprung Monty
Mole from Scudmore prison, returns in his own game, looking for
a big score.
The Monty Mole Collection is the second release on Nintendo
Switch for Pixel Games UK, having previously published ‘Hidden
Gems: Volume One’; a collection of classic games from the
Commodore 64 made available on Nintendo Switch for the first
time.
Based in Luton, UK, Pixel Games UK has made over 100 classic
games available to players on modern gaming platforms. These
games include Actua Soccer 2 (1997), Krakout (1987) and, the
game that inspired an entire genre, Rogue (1985).
