Billy is an exciting arcade game which combines the frenzy of quick
reactions with the testing of tactics and problem solving skills.
The game starts out easy, but soon turns into a nerve wrestling action
puzzle as each level confronts you with new problems - forcing you to
rethink your strategy.
This is a game that everybody loves - girls, boys, adults, and hardcore game
freaks. The two levels of difficulty - each with 100 screens - give plenty
of challenge to experienced arcade gamers and lots of fun to the rest.
Unlike most other games of this quality there is no violence. The funny
characters and the non-violent nature of the game seem to attract the female
audience also. Show it to your wife and you'll be surprised. Parents can
sleep peacefully at night - unless they are hooked themselves.
=============== But don't take our word for it! =============
" If you remember Load Runner as fondly as I do, you can't wait to get your
hands on this new game [... it] is basically just cool, so if you haven't
checked it out yet, now's the time to download it. "

The story:
You are the boy Billy in a dream world of platforms and cute-looking
enemies. Equipped with a pick Billy can dig trap-holes, and fool the bad
bananas, speedy spraycans and silly seashells into them.
Billy starts in a jungle with fruity enemies - like the coconut longdrink
with straw and sunglasses. The next levels take place in a construction
area, a cave, an island and finally in ancient Egypt.
All five worlds contain lots of different monsters with special behavior -
and powerups to aid Billy in his way through the game; secret exits, magic
portals, strange potions and all kinds of items.
