Action shopping spree in a bargain basement

The briefing

About this game

In Bargain Basement!!!, Money goes on an all-out shopping spree at Harridges department store using his Excess Card. Your goal is to buy items while spending more than five of the displayed credit limit without exceeding it.

Move through the basement, collect four figures of the till combination, and watch out for enemies disguised as bargains. Friends can provide an extra life, while cheaper items can be swapped in once five purchases have been made.

After finding the checkout, use the collected numbers to enter the combination on the cash register. To succeed, finish within five percent of the credit limit and before the card expires at the end of the year.
