Gameplay
editPlayers control a supermarket worker who is tasked with stocking the supermarket shelves, finding lost babies and removing dogs from the store. The objective of the game is to successfully complete each day's tasks from Monday through to Saturday, the latter being the busiest day of the week, without being sacked. As this is accomplished the player's character is promoted, eventually becoming the store manager and sacking his former employer.[1]
Before shelves can be filled the player must price each item in the warehouse,[2] which involves attaching labels to goods.[3]
Development
editThe game was developed after a wish by Andrew Collett was sent to the BBC's television programme, Jim'll Fix It.[3] The inlay card artwork depicts a cartoon of the show's presenter Jimmy Savile pushing a shopping trolley.
