How to be a complete Bastard by Virgin Games
Synopsis:
Ade is the sort of person who loosens the scews from the handles of disabled person's toilets or markets Space Shuttle Jigsaw Puzzles. In the game he has successfully gate-crashed a yuppie party on the posh side of town and to succeed as the complete bastard he must incapacitate all the guests by the end of the party and light up each letter in the phrase Complete Bastard. He must also build as many bastard points as he can by extremely offensive behaviour.
Ade must thoroughly search the furnishings and fittings (as any proper Bastard would) and find objects that will enable him to play thoroughly aggravating jokes on the guests and generally create havoc. Ade's antics are viewed through a split-screen and no opportunity to be a Bastard must be missed in this truly illegitimate arcade game.

"How can you characterise this, other than `risque`? Still, well-executed and good for several hours of mindless teenage fun, what Virgin intended, anyway. Give it a shot -you won`t find games like this easily! Nice mode 1 graphics but with a small screen area and erratic movement. Rudimentary sound."

"This is a great game concept. I remember AA put it on a covertape and then people wrote in and complained about the name... The view was wierd, with a concurrent front and side view which takes some tiem to get used to! And yes, you can turn into an oven in this game."
