Gerry the Germ Goes Body Poppin’

Gerry the Germ has failed to obtain his Stinkploma and so has been thrown out
of the Illtitute of Infectology but far from feeling sorry for himself, Gerry
has decided the only way back in is to infect a human and prove he deserves a
Stinkploma. You play the role of Gerry and you must complete five single
screens representing parts of the body in an attempt to make your human very
ill. The five screens are:

The Lungs: You must collect five cans of oxygen which are produced by four red
blood cells which move in a set pattern viewed from the side. When the cells
touch a can of oxygen appears and needs collecting before it disappears. There
is also a white blood cell roaming the screen and if you touch the red or
white blood cells then you go to the bladder. Collect all five and it’s on to
the kidney.

The Kidney: Viewed from the side at an elevated angle you must move about the
screen waiting for kidney beans to appear to be collected. Other creatures
move about the screen and if any are touched then your sent to the bladder.
Collect enough kidney beans and it’s on to the stomach.

The Stomach: This time the screen is a platform game and you must move about
the platforms climbing ladders and avoiding other creatures moving about the
screen. You need to collect a bottle of acid to dissolve a asprin to prevent
your human from recovering. Touch any creatures or allow the asprin to work
and your sent back to the kidney.

The Pancreas: Gerry is now on a train carriage moving through the pancreas
carrying medical supplies. Viewed from the back of the train at an elevated
angle in a split screen, you must move up the train and infect the medical
supplies before going into the drivers compartment. A conductor and white
blood cells move about the carriage and if touched then you are sent back to
the stomach. If you infect the medical supplies and reach the drivers
compartment, the other part of the split screen appears viewed from the side
at an elevated angle and here you must throw coal at the driver unseen. The
driver thinks this is the fireman and has a fight with him thus stopping the
train. Completing this part sends you to the final body part, the heart.

The Heart: The screen is viewed from the side at an elevated angle with the
human’s heart at the right of the screen on a bridge. You must walk along the
bridge avoiding various creatures and if you touch one you must go back to the
pancreas. Reach the heart and you infect it and you have won the game.

A bonus screen as the bladder appears if you fail to complete the lungs or
kidneys and has Gerry in a rowing boat viewed from the side. You must collect
a toilet roll and send it to a dripping tap to block it. If you allow the tap
to keep dripping then you fill the bladder and you sink to the bottom and back
to the lungs. There is a sea monster and a bird moving on the screen. The sea
monster can be hit to send him to the bottom of the bladder for a short time
but the bird has to be avoided or if touched then you go back to the lungs.
