What Dough Boy is
Dough Boy was released in 1984. It was published by Kemco. It is available on Family Computer and Commodore C64/128/MAX.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The general idea of the game is that the player must rescue a POW from a POW camp. Players can die by being shot, falling into water (by drowning), being blown up by a land mine, and being run over by a tank. Players are in possession of machine gun and can use dynamite as a way to attack the enemies. A strict time limit of 24 hours (five real-time minutes) is used in order to keep the pace of the game relatively brisk. After each round is completed, time is taken off the clock to make things more difficult. Land mines, trenches, and barbed wire similar to those used in the First World War can be seen throughout the levels. The enemy's naval forces are introduced in the game in the second…
