Reviews for Captain Dynamo (#9319)

Review by YOR on 04 Dec 2017 (Rating: 2)

Speaking of Code Masters, here's a game from them that I had hardly played up to now. This is like Bomb Jack except less fun and slower. The jumping is a pain and so is jumping straight into an off-screen enemy you couldn't see. It also has the same corrupted speech as 750cc Grand Prix which I reviewed a few weeks ago but loading the game on +2A or +3 mode let's you hear the actual speech. The music is very good but it's not enough to save this from being a disappointing WASP title for Code Masters.

A platform/collect-em-up where you, as Captain Dynamo - a curious character - must jump through a well from top to bottom collecting diamonds and avoiding dangers such as spikes and various types of nasties. Not very original, but nicely presented - the eponymous character's animation in particular is very well done - and playable, Captain Dynamo is one of the best titles among the final run of Spectrum games, shortly before the machine went out of production.

True that it's not that very original, but very very nice.
And the animations, almost every detail.
All in all, a highly polished final product
