Play Monty Python’s Flying Circus Online

Monty Python's Flying Circus is an arcade style video game released in 1991 for MS-DOS systems. It is based on the British television series of the same name. The game was developed by Core Design Ltd. and published by Virgin Games, Inc. It presents its action from a side view perspective.

In the game, the player controls a character known as a "Mr. Gumby." The objective is to guide this character through a series of distinct screen based levels. The primary action involves throwing fish at various surreal enemies, which include flying feet and other absurd foes drawn from the source material. Progression is linear, moving from one screen to the next as enemies are cleared.

The gameplay is periodically interrupted by brief, non interactive sequences or simple mini games that serve as non sequitur asides. These segments, such as a botanical lesson on "the larch" or a quick round of a breakout style game, are directly inspired by the sketch comedy style of the television show. These elements are integrated into the level structure, providing breaks from the main action of navigating and throwing projectiles.
