Android Two

When the history of 3D-effect maze games comes to be written, Android Two will be marked down as a classic of its kind. A superb attract mode that sweeps you across the maze field gives the first taste of the stunning hi-res graphics and brilliant colour that makes this game so distinctive.

When play starts, the maze comes to life with bright, bustling objects - there's movement everywhere! Game object is to guide your android through three increasingly difficult zones and bump off five ferocious Millitoids in each. Hazards come in the forms of Hoverdroids, Bouncers and lanemines, all of which are fatal to the android.

The screen shows a section of the maze and scrolls smoothly in any direction as the android moves around. Action is fast and challenging, thanks to the 100% machine code programming. There are full on-screen instructions plus joystick option. A thoroughly professional presentation and a must for any library.
