Notes
This game may not run on a Spectrum 128 in Tape Loader or 128 BASIC mode but it will load in 48 BASIC mode.
For those who have never seen the adverts, which I suspect is most people outside of the UK, search the internet for the Andrex puppy. It also helps to have some familiarity with Pimania.

There are some interesting puzzles but the solutions to many of the other puzzles are far from intuitive, plus many seemingly innocuous actions produce death. The parser and speed of the program also leave a lot to be desired.
Very tongue-in-cheek game with references to Planet of Death, Pimania, The Hobbit, and other bits of early 80s Speccy folklore. Lots of puzzles, some quite silly and wordplay-based; misses the right tone for this sort of game. Regrettably it is slow on display and poor of parser and interface, so play is not very pleasant.
