is pretty decent, actually.

It's a lot like Mr. Heli, one of my favorite HuCards.  :mrgreen:

It's not a bad port.   There are some nice graphics and cool bosses but I remember being disappointed with the lack of layered scrolling when compared to the Megadrive version.

7/10

My impressions.

Extremely nice artstyle
Missle is really the only great weapon. Except for bosses

Rival shootouts are great

You can kill the merchant. I do not like that.

Final boss is so cheap. He destroyed me so bad, an utter waste.

So far 6.5/10

Atomic Robo Kid was a game that grew on me. Initially,  I thought it was generic...but then I realized that it had a lot more personality and creativity than many games.

Well that final boss is really annoying. I hate having to play 45 min just to lose AGAIN.

Seems like the only way to even beat him is with a critical speedup, and maybe missile. And you lose your speedup if you die. Any tips please?

Don't die!

COROLLARY: Take a deep breath.  Don't choke/lose confidence during the challenging segments (i.e. Boss fights).
