Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been made into two video games: once in 1985 and also in 2005. The games are based on the book of the same name by Roald Dahl.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1985 video game which was released on the ZX Spectrum. It is based on the book of the same name.
The game consists of five sub-games, four arcade and an arcade adventure. The first four must be completed to get access to the final part.
In the first part the player must make Augustus Gloop float into a flask by adjusting the directions of a selection of tubes. The second part requires the avoiding of blueberries thrown by Violet Beauregarde. In the third game Veruca Salt has to dodge squirrels. In the fourth game Mike Teavee has to avoid TV men while collecting chocolate bars. The final part is a Jet Set Willy-style game where the player must collect six golden keys.
Sinclair User said that it "palls after a very short time. However, as the package comprises five games and the book it must represent reasonable value for money."Your Spectrum said that "the package was overpriced, with the best item being the book." and "Seeing as how Roald Dahl is usually known for his horror stories, he'll probably be very happy with the Spectrum version"
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 2005 video game which was released on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and Microsoft Windows platforms. The Xbox version is not compatible with Xbox 360. It is based on the film of the same name by Tim Burton. The game was released in the middle of the year to coincide with the release of the film in theaters.
