Monty on the Run

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monty on the Run is a computer game created by the software house Gremlin Graphics for the C64, Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, written by Peter Harrap with music written by Rob Hubbard.

On the run from the authorities after his intervention in the Miners' strike, Monty the mole must escape from his house and head for the English Channel and freedom in Europe. In traditional platform game fashion, along the way he needs to collect various objects and solve puzzles to complete his escape.

The game has a similar sense of British surrealness as Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy'- in gameplay it is more similar to the latter.

The C64 version was produced by Micro Projects Ltd, joint owned by Anthony Clarke and Jason Perkins, with Graphical input by Mark Rodgers, and music by Rob Hubbard.

The music for the Commodore 64 version is regarded as one of the best computer game scores for that platform. The main game theme was, according to Hubbard, inspired by Devil's Gallop, the theme tune to the radio serial Dick Barton. It was rated #1 on Skytopia's list of The All-Time Top C64 Game Tunes [1].
