Dynatron Mission [Mastertronic]

One of the thousands of flip-screen exploration games, with colourful but unexceptional graphics - and your sprite jumping with his arms lifted up as asking for mercy - which is not a good omen. The fire button helps you to jump higher and longer and to move faster, but you should not strain your heart too much, anyway, there's a ECG in the upper screen to remind you. There are multiple leves, in which you must find the usual SOMETHING, and you must get out of the area as soon as you find it, because a time bomb will automatically start its countdown.
Between hard and boring, if you ask me.

2,5/5

It looks really nice but the gameplay is naff. Too many times I escaped an area just to find myself back in it again. Annoying, frustrating and I'm done.

There is a lot of features in this flip screen exploration game that our main character has to use, like treadmills, jumping ropes, air suction ducts, slides, moving platforms, you name it, and that's what kept me coming back. But ultimately the game gets a bit annoying after awhile, maybe because I've played dozens of similar titles before although with less features than this one.
Still it is a very worthwhile game, if you love your sci-fi adventures.
Graphically it is a bit ambiguous, with some nice detailed background and creatures, but then some weird choices like the jumping sprite.
