Herbert's Dummy Run

Herbert's Dummy Run

Mikro-Gen, 1985

Herbert was visiting a large department store with his Mum and Dad (Wally and Wilma!) when he got lost! Now the store is a scary place and full of beasts which will hurt Herbert and make him cry! Help Herbert to explore the store, manipulating the objects he finds to help him get into the lost children office where Wally and Wilma are waiting for him. Objects are picked up by walking into them, but you can only carry two objects at any one time. Some rooms in the game are presented in the form of arcade sub-games. These aren't just for fun - you have to complete them to finish the game!
