Turmoil is a platform game released in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum, and in 1986 for the MSX[1] by Bug Byte. The player takes control of Mechanic Mick who has been employed by a rich Arabian Sheikh. The Sheikh has refused to pay Mick for work done, so Mick decides to steal his collection of expensive cars in lieu of payment. He must build the cars by collecting oil from a dripping oil tank. The oil can also be used as an offensive weapon against the pursuing Arabian guards.[2]
