## Description
_Dr. Pimple’s Dog_ is a single screen game viewed from above and after a name
mix-up (you’re a nine stone weakling), you have been summoned by King Notlob
to rescue his 16 daughters, kidnapped by Dr. Pimple (another nine stone
weakling). Over nine levels, Dr. Pimple has placed the Princesses in mine
fields, with the mines hidden, and you have to get from the bottom of the
screen to the top without being blown up. As you move up the screen, you leave
a trail of red paint to show the path you have taken and when you are one
place from a mine or mines you are told how many but not the locations. The
fence surrounding the mine field is deadly and cannot be touched and also
registers as a mine.
After you escape level one, the Princesses start to appear and they also
register as a mine but you have the choice to leave them alone and just get
yourself to safety. Level three onwards has the Doctor’s dog following the
trail of paint you leave behind and licks it, but do not let him catch you up
as he has a bomb round his neck. A minah bird also makes an appearance
dropping extra mines and on level nine you encounter Dr. Pimple who has to be
caught. You only have one life and it is game over when you die but you start
on the previous level when you start again.
