Spitting Image: The Computer Game

Spitting Image: The Computer Game is a video game in the action genre developed by Walking Circles and published by Domark Limited originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST.

This game is based on the long-running British satirical television show, with puppets resembling political figures and celebrities. A prophet determines that in seven years there will be a world war instigated by a mysterious leader. To prevent it, a ruler of the world must be determined in this beat 'em up featuring six rulers: American Ronald Regan, Britain's Margaret Thatcher, Russia's Mikhail Gorbachev, South Africa's PW Botha, Ayatollah Khomeini and Pope John Paul II.

Once the character is chosen, one travels to the opponent's country to participate in a best-of-three match judged by Queen Elizabeth II on a postage stamp. You attack each opponent both on the ground and by jumping in the air, and each character has a special move, such as Thatcher's headbutt or Khomeini's beard whip. You can also call for help twice from a helper who will normally throw a projectile at your opponent. If you manage to defeat all 5 opponents, you will meet the mysterious leader in a final showdown in a wrestling pit in the dark where you can only see the characters' eyes. You can also play 2-player fights, one against the other on the same computer.

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