Gameplay

Bozo can run into many obstacles on his journey home; he can fall into trap doors, get caught by the police, run into people, and even run into ghosts and dragons. If Bozo can successfully get home, he drinks five more pints the next night at his bar "The Gibbons" and this process repeats until the Bozo reaches 60 pints. As Bozo drinks, the controls get looser and he starts to see "red elephants".cite web|url=http://www.c64-wiki.com/index.php/Bozo%C2%B4s_Night_Out|title=Bozo´s Night Out - C64-Wiki|publisher=Wiki.com|accessdate=2008-07-09]

If Bozo cannot successfully get home he loses 1-5 pints, and the game starts over if Bozo runs out of his pints of drunkenness.

Development

"Bozo's Night Out" was bundled with a registration card, which could be mailed back to Taskset for information regarding any future releases from Taskset.cite web|url=http://www.the-commodore-zone.com/articlelive/articles/3/1/Taskset/Page1.html|title=Taskset2|publisher=The Commodore Zone|accessdate=2008-07-09] The game was programmed by Tony Gibson, illustrated by Mark Harrison, and Paul Hodgson composed the game's music.
