Plot

Taken from the game's instructions:

Hard day at school? Too much homework and too little fun? Well here's the chance to get your own back and be the classroom MENACE. There are banana skins whoopee cushions and drawing pins galore. All you have to do is place them on Teachers chair while hi back is turned.

Gameplay

Taken from the games instructions:

You are the mischievous looking pupil (middle desk back row at the start of the game)). To score lots of points and give teacher a hard time you must collect various objects from the classroom cupboard (centre, back of the class) and place them on Teachers's chair while his back is turned. You can collect objects by moving into the centre of them. To drop (or store) obkects simply place them in the centre of the desk or chair.

If you want to get other pupils into trouble, stick a catapult in their desk. 10 points are awrded for each catapult provided all desks are filled by then end of the game. No points for putting a catapult on the Teacher's chair.

Whenever the classroom swot (pink with spectacles) moves in front of Teacher's chair an aplle will appear on it. That's your chance to place a nasty green grub in the apple for extra points.

Remember if you are in front of the first row of desks when the teacher turns round you will be caned (lose a life).
