Synopsis
Zany adventure in which you have been killed and gone off to God's palace. To be resurrected, you must find his golden eggcup (and solve a murder along the way).
Notes
Originally a ZX Spectrum Quilled adventure released by author, Harvey Lodder's, own label Network Adventure Games.
The game was updated by the author in conjunction with Smart Egg and re-released in 1988 by Mastertronic. The revised version was created using a modified version of the Quill and was also made available for C64 and CPC.

The British penchant for parodies made a whole subgenre out of them: sometimes even parodies were themselves spoofed. This one is reasonably well put together, with some creative touches. The Mastertronic version has pictures, but less text, and some of the funny bits are missing. I suggest you play the old version if you have a taste for these affairs.
