This one has only got 3 short reviews and the mention of driving probably doesn't help anyone.
Also, according to the map it's half way through the game, not at the end.
There is not much to do here other than jump from shelve to shelve ...

Sounds like someone really didn't like Monty On The Run...

It's not that, but the driving bit does look like it's similar, based on the map.

Not the ********, just a below average game.

Oddly phrased, so the *s must represent an eight letter superlative, perhaps Ultimate. So, Watson, I must conclude that it is Ultimate Combat Mission.

It's actually a 7 letter word, and there's definitely no driving in UCM.
He's a very naughty bot.

New one

How about:
Simply too hard. You even have to make the old heap of rusty iron jump from platform to platform.

Robocop 2
So, what is this:
ItI dare to say this is one of those games that everybody owned and everybody loved, and brings fond memories to everyone who bought the game in the 80's.
The game itself isn't hard. I myself finished it lots of times. In fact it was one of the few games I finished (shame!). Curiously it is one of those games that you don't mind playing again and again even if you have finished it several times, and so few games have this quality.

No, but it is right up there in terms of popularity / general retro gaming discussions.

Popular, easy but not spoiled by it? That's got Bruce Lee written all over it.

You're a tiny, badly drawn guy equipped with a razor blade yo-yo. You slaughter monsters. You jump. You run.
You have a time limit. It's not that horrible.

Yep. Wondered if it was too easy. Would have been a good quote for the inlay though.
