Very playable game from the Shaw Brothers, this for me was one of their best games. Nice colourful graphics, good opening tune and simple yet frustrating gameplay. Superkid is a fun, challenging game worthy of your attention.

This reminds me of Capitan Sevilla ...

Easily the best game by the Shaw Brothers in the 80's. It's highly addictive and although with a bit more work here and there, namely the speed, this game launched years ago, circa 1985/6, would easily be paired with the classics of that age.

Fly around the town and escort the grannies to their home through crime-ridden streets, protecting them from killers, sociopaths, mass murderers and such. When you're tired of the grannies you may want to save some birds, in the sens of gals, which for some reason are always perched on some tall building or platform. You have no weapons, all you have to do is crash against the criminals before they touch or shoot the girls, old and young, until they get home or they touch the ground. You only lose energy when you're hit by bullets. And sometimes the thughs are so kind to kill each other. Which means that the game is very playable. Additionally, it offers very coloured and cartoonish backgrounds and some nice beepings.
Superkid is a very simple concept, which can become boring very fast, but it's well executed.
For a budget game, it was good.
3/5
