In Gregory Loses His Clock, you play as Gregory, who has had his alarm clock stolen by a mischievous ghost in his bedroom. He must collect all five clock pieces scattered throughout a dream world before morning. The game features large, colourful flip-screen graphics without colour clash, a hallmark of Don Priestley’s style. Gameplay blends straightforward platform navigation with light puzzle-solving and occasional action sequences—like helicopter rides and tank passages. Each screen is a unique challenge, often requiring item use in specific spots. Renowned for its charming visuals and challenging puzzles, the budget release offered an engaging experience for Amstrad CPC players in the late ’80s.
