THE GAME
You must help Spiky Harold to prepare for hibernation. Each of the 57 chambers beneath the Hedgerow contains an item of food which Harold can eat.
However, he must avoid the creatures who will try to stop him, as well as corkers, sulphur clouds, bouncing balls and peeping periscopes.
On his travels, Harold may find some coins which will give him extra lives, and wine glasses that will make him drunk. When you have helped Harold to collect all 57 objects, he must be guided to his home cavern where he can hibernate. BEWARE ... A sharp frost has been forecast so Harold must have hibernated by the time 24 hours have elapsed, as indicated on the clock, at the bottom of the display.
