Seaside Special

Seaside Special is a video game in the action genre developed by Taskset Ltd. and published by Taskset Ltd. originally released in 1985. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Politicians have invaded Earth and taken over the Tory Cabinet at 10 Downing Street. Only one man can stop them: Radium Rodney. To save the Earth, Rodney must collect radioactive algae on Rotaway Beach, then travel to 10 Downing Street to throw the weed at the fake politicians.

The game takes place on two screens.

On the beach screen, Rodney must collect 10 pieces of weed to continue. A guard with a gun and a jellyfish try to stop him. Spending too much time in the irradiated sea or handling the seaweed is dangerous and can kill Rodney.

Once the 10 pieces are collected, he heads to 10 Downing Street to stop the aliens. Rodney stands under the windows and when a politician appears he must throw algae at them while dodging the various objects thrown at him. After hitting each politician five times, Maggie Thatcher appears, who must also be hit five times.

Once Maggie is defeated, the game returns to the beginning. If Maggie is defeated a second time, the game ends and the score and the number of dead politicians is displayed.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
