Superkid

Superkid is a video game in the action genre and published by Atlantis Software Limited originally released in 1990. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC.

New York in the future is a dangerous place with criminals roaming the streets and wreaking havoc. The mayor is desperate for any kind of help and you are the answer to his prayers. You are Tom Essex and you have drunk a bottle of formula invented by your uncle that has turned you into Superkid. You now have the ability to fly and you have a Superkick that knocks out criminals in one hit. You must explore three parts of the city stopping the criminals, but also finding and rescuing the girls on the rooftops and bringing them back home. There are also grannies that you must accompany from the library to their home. Be careful not to touch the Grannys or you will kill them.

You have a set quota of how many you must rescue and if you complete your quota then you move on to the next level. If you hit a criminal, get shot, kill a Granny or a girl, your Crimewave overload meter increases and if it reaches the cap, you lose one of your three lives. If you hit a criminal or rescue a girl or a granny, the meter decreases. Once you have completed all three levels, you repeat them but this time at night, with more people to rescue and with more criminals and faster.

Superkid is a platformer with part of the level displayed on the screen for one or two players. Each player takes turns when the other loses a life. In addition to the main play area, you can also see your score, your number of lives, your rescue quotas and your Crimewave overload meter. You can use a joystick or keyboard to control your hero.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
