Welcome to the online home of Rob Fearon, disabled videogame maker, games journalist, crap film watcher, gobshite and doodler. Rob’s been around games a very, very long time now and Punching Robots Club is their personal blog featuring whatever nonsense takes their fancy.

I spent an extraordinary amount of time doing the “that doesn’t look right” face whilst sketching this fella out and I had to keep reminding myself that’s not my fault, Monty genuinely doesn’t look right in Impossamole.

I’ve never really made peace with it as a game either. For all their unfairness, Monty On The Run and Auf Wiedersehen Monty are still all timers in my book and Impossamole just isn’t. I’ve never found anything to enjoy in it and on occasional revisits, little has changed my opinion over the years.

Still. Plenty of characters have met a worse videogame fate.
