===Computer games=== [[Alternative Software]] released a computer game based on ''Count Duckula'' called "No Sax Please, We're Egyptian!". In the game, Igor, Nanny and Count Duckula have decided to search the tomb of the great Pharaoh Upanatem (a pun on "up and at 'em") to find the mystic saxophone. What they do not know is that they have brought along some unwanted guests in the form of the Crow brothers. The game was a basic jump and run platform-type game. At the start, the castle was transported to an ancient pyramid. Then, players had a set amount of time to go through the pyramid, evading the various baddies inside the pyramid, to retrieve the mystic sax before the Count's castle automatically returns to Transylvania, leaving the player stranded in Egypt. The title of the game was a parody on the title of a British comedy play ''[[No Sex Please, We're British]]!''. The game was available for various 8-bit computers such as the [[ZX Spectrum]], [[Commodore 64]], & [[Amstrad CPC]], and was also released as a "Kid's Pack" with other TV shows that Alternative Software turned into games, including ''[[Postman Pat]]'', ''Sooty and Sweep'', ''[[Popeye 2]]'', ''[[The Wombles (1973 TV series)|The Wombles]]'', and ''[[SuperTed]]''. Alternative Software was one of the few software companies of the 1980s that still survives today as an independent software producer. There was also a ''[[Count Duckula 2]]'' sequel in 1992.
