Robocod

This time it's off to Santa's Workshop in the North Pole, where your evil nemesis Dr. Maybe has been up to no good again. Maybe's dastardly plan is to kidnap all of Santa's workers, namely penguins (or elves, depending on which system you have) who are in dire need of rescuing. Not being one to leave them out in the cold, you don your new robotic suit and answering to your new codename "Robocod" you set off to finally thwart your nemesis and restore order to Santa's workshop. The game itself came, as did most on a 3.5 floppy disk on the Commodore Amiga system. Our fishy friend also made an appearance on other well known systems at the time (albeit ...  Read the complete review

There are so many levels to work through, that I've yet to find anyone who's completed the whole game. Being a joystick game, the controls are very simple, up for jump, left, right ...  Read the complete review

James Pond was back after his original hit platformer in what was a mismash of James Bond and Robocop underwater! Some of the graphics were good considering it was an amiga and the levels were very taxing and contained many surreal secret bonus rooms.

I still haven't finished it after ten years and is one of the reasons I still keep my amiga plugged in! ...  Read the complete review
