Big Ben

Big Ben is a video game in the action genre and published by Interceptor Software originally released in 1984. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Big Ben is a platformer in which the screen scrolls in multiple directions as you move your hero, Giz, while trying to escape from a Space Complex. An evil wizard named Jem has trapped you in the complex and will only let you escape if you ring the bell of Big Ben sealed by a tunnel that can only be opened once 30 gold coins have been collected. You must navigate platforms, some of which move and some of which open and close, while avoiding obstacles that are deadly to the touch. Gaps can be jumped over, but you can fall from any height, and low spaces can be traversed with up or down sticks and green buttons that send you to the platform above.

Patrolling the entire area are helicopters that follow random routes around the platforms and must be avoided. Early in the game you can jump into a turbo plane with which you can fly around but you can't touch the platforms, except for the landing pads which are necessary as you have limited fuel and your plane flashes red when you are low. If you are killed, either on foot or in your plane, you lose one of the five lives and return to your starting position, but you keep the coins you have collected.
