Possums' Temporary Emergency Replacement DocDisk Presents - STIR CRAZY Featuring BOBO by Infogrames From the collection of DR.J 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 recaptured 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. Everything is an excuse for fun, even the daily chores - which can get them in trouble. LOADING & START-UP Make sure that the computer is properly connected. Insert Disk 1 in the drive.

THE CANTEEN - Game #1 Bobo is on table duty and has to serve six prisoners who arrive one by one, then give them a second helping when they ask.

THE TRAMPOLINE - Game #4 It is the warden's break-time in Inzeeslammer and the prisoners have decided to take advantage of it by trying to escape.

And in the evening in his cell which he shares with five other prisoners, he couldn't sleep because of the snoring.
