Nobby the Aardvark is a single-player platform game for the Commodore 64. It was released in 1992 in North America and 1993 in Europe, published by Thalamus. You play as Nobby, an aardvark who eats ants, and your goal is to reach Antopia, a land where ants are everywhere. Most levels have you jumping between platforms to reach the exit, while avoiding enemies. If you touch an enemy, you die, but you can defeat foes by spitting ants that you find at anthills scattered around the levels. Later levels mix things up with sections where Nobby flies in a hot air balloon or navigates a maze-like mine shaft. Zzap!64 gave the game 96%, calling it a Gold Medal title.
