Monty on the Run
You are Monty. Collect gold coins and objects that either help or hinder you as you make your way to freedom. Choose the following five items for your freedom kit before you start. Push LEFT or RIGHT in the list and push DOWN to select: 02, 04, 12, 13 and 16. Good luck.
Scenario
Super fit and desperate for freedom, Monty makes his daring escape from Scudmore Prison. Hounded by the bastions of law and order, our frightened hero finds refuge with the criminal underworld who offer him his chance of freedom. Moving from “safe house” to hideout to underground lair, Monty must select the correct five elements of his freedom kit from the many he’s offered and not miss out on the hidden gold coins that will make him a mole of leisure. Once free, can he make the ferry in time?
Playing the Game
Monty, having escaped from prison and how superfit so that he can somersault, must make his way to freedom through many hideous and secret locations. To successfully complete his journey he has been offered a freedom kit with 21 items in it, only the correct five will get him through. In addition, there are gold coins to collect on the way, plus some other objects that will help or hinder (you’ll only find out if you try them!).
