Repton 3

Here it is, the sequel to the sequel. Anyone who managed to finish the first two Reptons should be thirsting for this one.

This is the Repton we know and love, with 24 levels instead of sixteen and some fun new features to master, like the time bomb which blows up if you take too long over a screen, or the unpleasant, poisonous fungus which smears itself all over the screen, attempting to engulf you.

The aim of the game remains the same - to clear each level of diamonds, including the ones tucked away in cages and safes, while killing all the monsters.

Repton 3

It's as gripping, entertaining and downright frustrating as ever, but Repton 3 offers something more. With this one you can actually re-design the game to baffle your mates still further...

You can invent your own puzzles and design your own characters if you so desire, although speaking for myself the existing ones are more than adequate.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must work out how to topply this rock so it crushes that monster without burying that diamond there or cracking that egg, at the same time leaving myself an escape route so I can dodge that spirit...
