User Summary
The lead C64 version was designed by Mark Eyles and programmed by Martin Walker. The game was originally published by Electric Dreams. It was converted to the Amstrad and Spectrum by Software Images.
The object of the game is to get Marty's parents to fall in love through collecting objects in the game - Love poems, cups of coffee, Marty's guitar, etc. Each item has a different effect on the other characters in the game.
Photographs in the corner of the screen indicate progress. Completing activities that make Marty's parents spend time together will add segments to the family photograph. However if the photograph disappears, it means that Marty has failed!
