'Allo 'Allo! Cartoon Fun! (1993-)
'Allo 'Allo! Cartoon Fun! was developed by Topos and published by Alternative Software in 1993, adapting the popular BBC television sitcom into a light-hearted computer game. It was released exclusively for the Amiga, taking advantage of the platform’s superior graphics and audio to deliver a more visually engaging and sonically rich experience than would have been possible on 8-bit computers. Alternative Software, known for its budget-friendly licensed titles, positioned the game to appeal both to fans of the show and to casual gamers looking for an accessible arcade-style experience.
The game is set in a cartoon-style version of wartime France, reflecting the sitcom’s comedic setting in the fictional town of Nouvion. Players assume the role of café owner René Artois, tasked with collecting fallen portraits of the general scattered throughout the town before time runs out. The concept is drawn directly from the slapstick and farcical situations of the TV series, translated into a simple arcade objective that emphasizes quick reflexes and light-hearted humour.
Gameplay involves navigating side-scrolling environments, jumping between platforms, avoiding enemy characters such as German soldiers, and gathering the portraits. The Amiga’s hardware allowed for colourful, detailed sprites and lively backgrounds, giving the game a playful cartoon feel. The soundtrack complements the visuals with a jaunty rendition of the show’s theme, and sound effects punctuate in-game actions, enhancing the comedic atmosphere that was central to the series.
Promotion focused on magazine advertisements highlighting the BBC licence and the game’s cartoon-style presentation, marketed at a budget price to appeal to both fans of the sitcom and younger players. Critical reception was modest; reviewers praised its visual style and charm but noted the gameplay was repetitive and lacked depth. No sequels or follow-ups were produced, leaving this Amiga title as the only official computer adaptation of the 'Allo 'Allo! series.
