DESCRIPTION
Cookie is a type of what could only be described as a
shoot-em-up.  The object of the game is to mix ingredients to
bake a cake.

INSTRUCTION
Move Charlie the Chef around the screen throwing bags of flour
at the ingredients in an attempt to knock them into your mixing
bowl at the bottom of the screen. Avoid knocking nuts and bolts
e.t.c in the bowl as the number of ingredients you have to place
in the bowl before you can move to the next level will increase.

of personality he never appeared in any other games.


INLAY CARD TEXT
Charlie the Chef, keeps all the ingredients locked away in the
pantry, only letting them out when he wants to cook them!  Now
this makes them jolly uspset, let me tell you.  So! As soon as
they can, the ingredients dash out of the pantry dragging all
sorts of nasties, found in the bottom of drawers and cupboards,
with them, to escape and run wild.  Poor old Charlie! he has to
daze the ingredients with his flour bombs and knock them into the
mixing bowl, because if they go into the dustbins they will be
eaten by the bin monster, who doesn't care one little bit where
he throws any of his rubbish.  Should any rubbish or nasties get
into the cake mix then the "ingredients needed" counter will
change, and Charlie will have to work quicker and faster, if he's
going to bake his cake.

NOTES
The first set of computer games produced by Chris and Tim Stamper
after they moved away from the amusement machine designing,
deciding there was no money to be made in it.  Hypocrites!
