STIR CRAZY featuring BOBO AMSTRAD CPC - SPECTRUM - COMMODORE C64 ---------- INFOGRAMES ========== S T I R C R A Z Y F E A T U R I N G B O B O Bobo is perhaps the oddest inmate of INZEESLAMMER. He's been there for 17 years now, and his biggest dream is to get out. He'll try anything to escape, and sometimes he manages it. But inevitably he will be recaprured to spend yet another night in his cell dreaming of the outside world. INZEESLAMMER is a really peculiar prison which tends to make the inmates behave childishly.
