Mud Pies is a cuisine fling with clowns in a circus, but plays like a mixture of Food Fight and Berzerk. The Dragon version even got some cool box art!

Pyjamarama was part of the oddly popular "Wally" series of puzzle adventures for the ZX Spectrum. Its bright, colorful graphics belie the devious puzzles hidden within. It's worth a play!
