Carry on Laughing

Carry on Laughing is a video game in the action genre and published by LiveWire Software UK originally released in 1984. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Carry on Laughing is a single-screen platformer in which you play Mr. Livewire, whose job is to tidy up all the classrooms at St. Hexidecimals, a school for demented programmers. The school is made up of several screens and you must tidy up each one by turning all the big X's into ticks while avoiding the various people, creatures and objects that move around the screen. At the bottom of the screen is a bar with Mr. Livewire walking from left to right across the X's, and a screen is completed when all the X's are ticks and Mr. Livewire reaches the right of the bar. On the walls surrounding each classroom is an arrow and you can select which classroom to go to next with a small grid in the lower left showing the locations you have visited. In addition to platforms to walk on, there are several ways to climb to higher levels, such as ladders, bars and, on one screen, you can use bubbles to float upwards. If you are touched by people, creatures or objects, you lose one of three lives and all marks become Xs. Two players can play and each player takes turns when the other loses a life.
