STIFFLIP & CO.

Stifflip & Co. is one of the most accomplished and certainly one of the most enjoyable graphic adventures I've seen .... COMMODORE USER.

Rarely have I seen the idea of the icon driven adventure implemented with such style and sense of humour.... P.C.W.

Disaster looms for the bowler and brolly brigade. The comtemptible COUNT CHAMELEON, Master of Disguise and sworn enemy of the establishment, is determined to succeed in his latest and greatest dastardly plot. His sale of rubber goods through mail-order ads in a civil service magazine, has led him to develop the RUBBERTRONIC RAY. With it he threatens to neutralise the starch in wing-collars, loosen stiff upper lips and generally relax moral standards — leading to the collapse of The Empire. Worse still, it will radically and unpredictably alter the bounce of a cricket ball. This bounder must be stopped!
