CJ's Elephant Antics
action platform game for Commodore 64, 1991
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere over FRANCE, an aeroplane carries CJ THE ELEPHANT captured and boxed
ready for a ZOO in ENGLAND... until SUDDENLY turbulence hits the plane and
his cage bursts open!
Grabbing a nearby UMBRELLA, CJ jumps out and begins his long trek across
foreign lands to reach his FAMILY back in DEEPEST AFRICA! THE OBJECT OF THE
GAME
CJ must reach the EXIT at the end of each level, where a large foe will
challenge him. He can jump using the UMBRELLA to break his fall, and fire
PEANUTS using his trunk or THROW BOMBS at anything in his way. Eating CAKES
and BANANAS will keep CJ in tip-top condition. INVINCIBLY pills will make him
immune for a while.
Some of the "wildlife" CJ will encounter:
FROGS leap into trouble
SNAILS a hard exterior
POLICE march on patrol
CLOUDS strike lightning
PENGUINS skip and hop
SNOWMEN throw snowballs
MUMMYS deathly trail
EGYPTIONS throw spears
CANNIBALS throw rocks
MONKEYS throw coconuts
LIONS kings of the jungle
After each level, there is a bonus section where CJ rides a bicycle. Collect
as many balloons as possible by jumping off the ramps, and avoid getting a
puncture on the spikes. CONTROLS
