Our lovely and innocent heroine, Molly has been kidnapped 
by the evil Spud! Only Spike can save her from this fate 
worse than death! Spike will have to be maneuvered 
through treacherous obstacles and dodge dangerous 
creatures along the way so be prepared for evil encounters 
… of the worst kind.

As soon as Spike kicks in the door to the villain Spud’s 

hideaway, the game field appears. Spike enters on the 
bottom catwalk … and then 

you

 have control of Spike!

There are three catwalks connected by a moveable 

ladder. Above the top catwalk, Molly has been imprisoned 
by Spud inside a cell with bars on the window. In order to 
help Spike rescue poor Molly, you must maneuver him to 
pick up the key to the cell

 

 

then get him up to the top 

catwalk using the ladders. The ladders can be moved by 
pressing Button 1. The key will appear on your screen in 
different locations so you’ll have to move Spike quickly to 
pick it up.

key to Molly’s cell, help him free his true love by positioning
