It is the future, and let's not forget that the helicopter is already out of A-bomb range within minutes

Australia you say? I always thought it was set on another planet. You know, with the robots and stuff.

@Peeps chatting about cable: WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS!
You've gotta get your welder buddy, Joey to get the anchor of the statue in Anchor Insuracne then build a grappling hook. Then go to the fire escape (place at the start) and use the grappling hook on the sign to get into the building.

My third favourite point and click adventure. Loom just about beats it and Monkey Island I is miles ahead

Love it though. Thank goodness it's free, I never completed it on the Amiga..

Anyone ever considered both?

UK have a history of throwing their unwanted elements into Australia. The game is just a reference to that time. All the proper civilization is in the UK and all the outlaws, hillbillies and whatnots are in Australia.
Well im not sure that its some form of symbolic racism saying that Australians are all deviants if thats what your getting at. And Hyde park and the tube slipped in? Thats about as likely as Michael Moore winning the gold for olympic pole vaulting.

Interesting point about the helicopter outrunning the A-bomb though, it could be possible that they flew him half way around the globe, although they refer to the area as the Gap. An area outside of the dome without civilization, which doesnt sound like a seperate country.
One other point, Joey in his first guise as a small utility robot does resemble a baby kangaroo.

I really want to know more about the storys background, its a pitty we cant ask the developers themselves.

Perhaps the sequal will clear things up a little bit.

Plans were made like five years ago for a sequel. Pretty sure it's been cancelled.
