"Developed over a period of around 6-8 months, Allo Allo must rate as one of the most bizarre TV "tie-ins". An early demo was up and running in around a month or so, in which the player could control Rene running around the cafe but little else. The coder on the project Bill Gibbs (also know as William Gibbs) left Alternative when the project was only a few months old, and ex-C64 coder Steve Metcalf was brought in to finish the game. The initial idea for the game was to try and capture the feel of "Titus the Fox", but the nature of the title made it nigh on impossible. Unfortunately no reference material was obtained from the BBC, so all the character gfx were drawn from still video frames or pictures found in magazines and books. Overall the game received mixed reviews from generally poor to good - in my opinion the game was too hard to play."
