Mr Wimpy


A remake of one of my favourite games in the 1980's. 
Mr Wimpy was originally to be released as a promotional item for the Wimpy burger chain. Fortunately, it was released on general sale for a number of platforms. 
My remake is based on the Oric/Atmos version of the game, which has a couple of minor differences. 
There are three versions of this game available: Mac OSX (PPC Now on Intel), Windows and Linux. 
I would just like to say "Thank You" to Dan of Dan's Remakes for the Linux version and some code tweaks. 

Version History: 

1.3 

Added background music (Rossini's Largo Al Factotum). 
Changed the sounds for the dropping burger parts to be musical, ala the original. 
Converted all sounds to OGG format to reduce the size of the executable. 
Added the hotkey 'M' to turn music on or off. 
Mac version now an Intel binary. 


1.2 

Reduced the amount of time that enemies are off screen after being killed. 
Added 4 second invincibility for the hero after he is killed on the ladder levels. 
Increased the amount of time between bonuses appearing. 


1.1 

Fixed 'Invisible enemy' bug. 
Made it easier for the hero character to use the ladders.
