James Pond 2: Robocod


This game is annoying, but I love it. It’s a very colourful platformer to the point that its background screens make you wonder if you’re having a psychotic episode. It’s a basic platformer set in Santa’s workshop and each level contains a variety of toy-themed rooms. There’s random objects to collect which gives you random points; though there’s little purpose in these other than high score bragging rights. The levels are deviously fiendish and you really have to watch your step, but there’s tons of hidden bonus features. There’s also some inte3resting music which can be toe-tapping at times and annoying if you’re struggling to climb to the top of the screen for the umpteenth time. I do miss the Amiga version where one burst from the disk drive would load the game in its entirety and in tune to the music as well. There’s also the little mermaid cheat where you can summon vehicles to your will.
