Loony Loco

Loony Loco is a collection of four games for the Electron and BBC Micro.

The player must save the railway from the evil Baron Bodneik who will use any method to try to destroy the line. Game play is divided into four separate sections that can be selected individually.

On the first screen, the player guides a train to its destination by switching between three lines and firing smoke and harpoons. The three lines are shown at the bottom of the screen, and the player can move between them at switches. They must avoid bombs dropped from planes and incoming dangers on the line.

On the second screen, the player is on top of a runaway train and must get to the buffet car by running along the top of the carriages, jumping over the gaps and cannon balls while ducking the arrows.

The third screen, the player is inside the buffet car where they must catch the spinning cups before they slide of the end of the three serving tables. There are 40 to catch, and the player can only drop three.

The final screen is set in the main control room, where the player tries to put all the train's eight brakes on. However, the Baron has set up the brake levers in such a way that moving one will result in locking most of the other levers and at the same time releasing one or two. The player has 300 moves to try to lock all eight brakes.
