About

In this adventure game, Grandad, who is rather old, has a habit of placing things in strange places and then forget where he has put them. One morning he wakes up and discovers
that there is a bit of a nip in the air. He decides that he'll need to put on his string vest but he can't remember where it is. You have to help grandad find it.
Guide grandad around his house, gather items, talk to people, solve puzzles and unlock doors while also trying to avoid certain deadly situations...

Awards & Reviews

AGS Panel Rating

Excellent remake/translation to point'n click of an old Atari game. Some of the pitfalls of the original have been removed, though the humor involved may be considered a bit non-pc. No sound added.

This remake is a massive improvement over the original game. It's both a fun and a frustrating game to play: Fun for the humour and some excellent puzzles, frustrating for a couple of pixel hunts and (for me) a huge maze at one point of the game.


By Wiggy on 12 January 2023

This game was released for the Atari ST way back in 1992. The remake is superb in that all you need is in-game and no dead ends. Very challenging and entertaining. A fun game.

You will enjoy this remake, it's very well done, the graphics are really cool and it's a lot of fun. Your opportunity to have fun :-)
