Hey, hey, we're the Flunkies!

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, to be grammatically correct, should really have been entitled 'The Excellent Adventure of Bill and Ted'. Regardless, the excellentness of the production suffers not, and in any case, it would be pretentious and nitpicky to even mention it. The Big Question is, does Off The Wall Productions' action-puzzle-adventure game of the same name for the Amiga, Commodore 64, and DOS detract from the excellence quotient? Does it accurately replicate the themes and scenes seen onscreen starring our favourite bodacious dream team, or is it, like, totally bogus?

I Know Kung-Faux

Contrary to common wisdom, you don't have to visit a parallel universe to witness Ted 'Theodore' Logan playing Jonathan Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula. It truly-really-genuinely happened back in 1992 and performed pretty well at the box office. Produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola believe it or not.

A year later, Keanu was further immortalised in pixels courtesy of Psygnosis. First in a platform game for the SNES and SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis and once again in 1994, allowing Amiga owners to indulge their bloodlust too.

I gingerly crack open the musty crypt to take a peek at them all, paying special attention to the Amiga incarnation, linking its key elements to their movie-based corollaries.
