Big Bang Show was a game developed by
Infogrames in 1994 on the CD-i. CD-i member DataPro: "Big Bang Show is a game from Infogrames, a remake
of an old Amstrad game called Bumpy and already remade under the name
Pop-up."
CD-i member Sixersfan105 noticed that when you save the
game, in the memory screen of your CD-i player the data file is called
Pop up, a reference to the original game it is based on. The object of the game is to guide Sparky, a ball of energy, around a
series of 100 game screens (like mazes). Let's have a look at Bumpy on Amstrad PC:
You must avoid obstacles, use
objects which you collect (for example, water droplets to put out fires)
and also your strategy to find the goal at the end of each level which
allows you to progress. There are several options to the game... you can
have full commentary from Professor Albertus (the creator of Sparky), a
fast or slow moving game, quiz on/off and you can save your progress
continuously. After you've completed a series of screens, you move either forwards or
backwards in time. During the game you visit five different ages.. The
Big Bang, Prehistoric times, The Middle Ages, The 20th Century and the
future. Your enemies and objects to collect therefore vary in appearance
considerably! There are some points in the game where you find yourself
in an impossible situation. This is where the quiz can help. If you set
this to ''on'', you can try and answer a question on the various ages
which, if correct, will get you out of the hole. Finally, this is what the Game Boy version of the original, Pop Up, looks like:
This was the original on which Big Bang Show was based on (Pop Up was also released by Infogrames, so it is typical why they chose a different theme rather than just take over the original Pop Up theme. )
