1986 M.A.D. (Mastertronic Added Dimension UK)
by John Pickford (game), Ste Pickford (graphics), David Whittaker (soundtrack)
This could have been an excellent game if only it had more variety in gameplay and in each of the levels.
The presentation is awesome, the tunes by Dave Whittaker are some of the best ever produced, the playability is also great so when you start playing it it can be quite exciting.
The problem is your task in each level being the same: climb the platforms way up and into the next planet.
Between planets you have various different interludes with some options that add some variety but the game overall becames repetitive after a while. A missed classic.

It's a slightly different platformer, but with simple gameplay nonetheless, it's got a sophisticated look,
and appealing graphics. You must move the platforms horizontally with your character, trying to reach the exit, un in the sky, while the screen scrolls vertically. At the same time you must shoot at the flying creatures disturbing you and trying to make you fall, but you can't destroy them, just push them away for some seconds. It's appreaciable, especially, at the time, as a budget [2.99£].
3,5/5
