Features:

Wanted! Monty Mole (1984)

With a long, cold winter ahead, Monty Mole makes a daring, coal snatching raid to his local South Yorkshire pit. Do battle with flying pickets, mammal eating fish, crushers, roaming drills, hovering hairspray and more. Surfacing in Arthur’s castle, you must find the only thing that can defeat him: a ballot paper.

Monty on the Run (1985)

After being sprung from Scudmore Prison by Sam Stoat, Monty Mole now makes a bid for freedom. Dodge tricky enemies and hazards, collect gold coins, and get to the cross-channel ferry.
 

Auf Wiedersehen Monty (1987)

Having fled the UK, Monty continues to be hounded by the authorities, and has now caught the attention of Intermole, who are in hot pursuit! He must travel across Europe, gathering enough cash to finally settle down on his own private Mediterranean island, away from persecution.
 

Moley Christmas (1987)

It’s Christmas, and Monty is celebrating the season with a brand new game to be given away with copies of a computer magazine. Bizarrely, the game itself tells the story of Monty delivering the very same game to the magazine’s offices! Jump, climb, dodge hazards and pick up items across four levels.

Sam Stoat: Safebreaker (1985)

The mustelid malefactor Sam Stoat, who previously sprung Monty Mole from Scudmore prison, returns in his own game, looking for a big score.

The Monty Mole Collection is the second release on Nintendo Switch for Pixel Games UK, having previously published ‘Hidden Gems: Volume One’; a collection of classic games from the Commodore 64 made available on Nintendo Switch for the first time.
 

Based in Luton, UK, Pixel Games UK has made over 100 classic games available to players on modern gaming platforms. These games include Actua Soccer 2 (1997), Krakout (1987) and, the game that inspired an entire genre, Rogue (1985).
