Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1985 video game)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1985 video game developed by British studio Soft Option[1] and published by Hill MacGibbon.

In the fourth game, Mike Teavee travels across multiple floors trying to collect Wonka Bars, while also avoiding cameras that attack with a shrinking ray.

The golden keys are absent from the arcade adventure game in practice mode, preventing the player from completing it.

[8] Sinclair Programs wrote that the games were difficult, held no long term appeal, and failed to capture "the anarchic humour of the book.

"[6] Popular Computing Weekly wrote, "If you think of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not as anything dramatically wonderful or original, but as five reasonable arcade games for £9.95 it's rather good.

[10][7] Home Computing Weekly concluded, "Even with the four screens on side one taken into account this 'multi-screen adventure' simply does not justify its high cost.

[4][7] Robin Candy of Crash later wrote that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory "relates only vaguely to the book and film, and the licence is little more than a way to sell an unsatisfying game.
