Now you can bring this wacky, wild, goopy, gloppy TV game show home. Rollerblade your way through 80 zany rooms tossing tomatoes at targets in the most outrageous Fun House ever built. This unpredictable mansion is not a place you'd want to call home.

Fun House is a race against the clock where only the skilled can survive. Clock's running low? Find a lightening bolt to gain speed or pick up an alarm clock for some extra time. Better yet, find the hidden warp zones and short cut to the next maze. But watch out for the banana launchers and glob guns which will take away some of your precious time.

Can you avoid the obstacles? Can you Rollerblade on icy floors or up the slime covered ramps? Can you collect enough coins to earn another pair of skates? The mission's yours. Remember... only those who think fast and move quickly will survive this sticky mess. Will you?

Fun House is based on a children's television game show of the same name.

The basic premise of the game is to get through the 72 rooms of the Fun House. The object of each room is to throw tomatoes at the targets littered throughout the room before time expires. Sometimes these targets are numbered, so they have to be hit in numerical order. After all targets are hit, a key will appear allowing the player to move on to the next room.

This may appear simple, but the player's character is on rollerblades, thus making navigating not such a simple task. There are also blobs, boingers, the banana launcher, and the spray gun which will either try to hinder progress or take away time if the player gets hit by them. The player also has to deal with various terrain obstacles in each room such as slime covered ramps or icy floors.

The player starts with three lives, but can earn more by collecting 25 silver coins. There are also gold coins with each one equaling 5 silver coins.

Other helpful items the player can collect are glop clocks, with the small ones adding 8 seconds, and the large ones adding 15 seconds to the game clock. There are also sneakers which will temporarily increase the player's speed. There are also starbursts, which increase the players score and warp cubes, which will send the player to another part of the Fun House.
