The computer game (well, the Spectrum port of the game, anyway - not sure if the versions on other platforms were any better) was pretty much universally panned, if I remember correctly. It was slightly closer in spirit to the series than you might have expected, but it was just a thoroughly bloody dull game, as witnessed by this advertisment...

Voice-over man sounds more like Zippy having a stroke when he impersonates Vyv, and the less said about his Neil routine, the better. Also, look how long the advert simply allows us to watch the game trundling on with no distractions whatsoever!

the twin-view graphics were something picked up by the later Edmondson-inspired How To Be A Complete Bastard

Bear in mind this is an in-store advertisement (or maybe a video catalogue sent to potential retail buyers), not a television commercial. It made sense for it to be a little more... ambient.

This is definitely the C64 version btw.
