Herbert (video game)

Herbert is a horizontally-scrolling platform game released for the Atari 8-bit computers in 1988 by AMC Verlag.

The objective is to traverse 20 levels with one or two ducks (namely Herbert and his friend Oscar) to liberate his girlfriend.

He can lay an egg in a nest turning up once in a while and receives an extra life, and three times a level it is possible to trigger invulnerability for some seconds.

To complete a level, Herbert has to collect gems and to reach the exit on the right within a time limit.
