The Magic Roundabout

Overview

The Magic Roundabout is an action game which was released by CRL Group PLC on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in 1984; it is based upon the French television series La Manege Enchante, by Serge Danot (1931-1990), which initially aired on its own country's television network in its own language, during 1963, but it was later appropriated by the English actor Eric Thompson (1929-1982) in 1965 for BBC television in the United Kingdom (and it begat a movie, Dougal and the Blue Cat, in 1970).

Help the frantic Dougal build his sugar house before it's time for bed, whilst avoiding all the other "Magic Roundabout" characters who can steal his sugar.
