Bimbo Faggins and Grandalf must find treasure, solve puzzles, and appear on a gameshow.

The player can also save and load a game position in computer memory.^[1]

Reception

Sinclair User magazine wrote that The Boggit was "just as funny and sick as its predecessor but is better presented and a whole lot snappier. It's miles better than the game it lampoons too."^[2]
