Capt'n Kidd

Capt'n Kidd is a video game in the action genre developed by M.C. Lothlorien Ltd and published by Bug-Byte Software Ltd. originally released in 1986. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Based on the arcade game Check Man, you play the role of Capt'n Kidd as you attempt to defuse bombs in a number of varied levels. You play on a 15x12 grid viewed from above with the entire grid on screen and must move towards an on-screen bomb to touch and clear it. You must defuse the bomb within a time limit and if successful, depending on the level number, another bomb appears. As you move around the grid, any square you move from disappears, so you must carefully plan your route, but if you find yourself trapped, you can move the row you are on, left or right.

There are two types of enemies on the screen: skulls and crossbones and boots. Skulls stay where they are, but move if you move the row they are in. Boots move around the grid but cannot move to empty squares. Flags can be collected for extra points. If you touch an unpleasant object, get stuck or fail to defuse a bomb within the time limit, you lose one of your five lives.
