Hi there!
Yes, this installment of the series really has a German title!

I think Auf Wiedersehen Monty was the 4th or 5th game already starring Monty Mole. It's a flick-screen platformer, made of 80+ screens, which are laid out like a map of Europe. It's pretty accurate and a pretty cool feature IMO. For example there's no straight connection to eastern Europe, you have to go by plane to west Berlin ![]()
In the game you're collecting money from every screen, and also interact with a couple of "special" items, which require you to complete a number of tasks. For example you need to pick up some tools in Germany to repair a lift in Austria.
The graphics are okay for this kind of game and the music is another classic Rob Hubbard piece. The controls are precise.
I started playing it last night already, but was too tired then to still type an article before bedtime. One thing that puzzled me: The first item you can collect in the game will make you invulnerable against touching enemies and will give you unlimited lifes. Even more puzzling, the game is _still_ very difficult and challenging then ![]()
I've been sinking ~4 hours into it last night and am now about halfway through the game. I'm not even sure if I will manage to finish it today, since I possibly made a couple of wrong route descissions already for my first try of travelling through Europe.
Greetings,
Manuel
