Split Personalities

This game was published in the mid 1980's when one of the most popular comedy programmes on british TV was 'Spitting Images'. The game was originally called Splitting Images, but the publishers Domark were forced to change it after the threat of legal action from the makers of the television programme.

The game is a puzzle game in the style of the plastic sliding puzzles that you always seemed to get in a lucky bag when you were a kid. The similiarities with the TV programme are with the characters. The TV programme was a satirical show with puppets lampooning the famous people of the day - Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, etc.

The object of the game is to arrange the tiles into a picture of the celebrity, a small picture in the corner of the screen showed how the final picture should look. The problems the game threw at you were a time limit, bombs coming into the arena from the openings that appeared at the sides.

This was a great game, and it added an original twist to a old idea. The game was very addictive and still a lot of fun to play today.
