ROBOCOD: JAMES POND II
VARIOUS, 2005
■ System 3’s Nintendo and Sony console versions of Robocod are most accurately described as remakes of the Amiga original. As you’d expect, these relatively recent adaptations have nicer visuals than the Amiga game, but there are also some gameplay-related tweaks that have been made to appeal to modern gamers. For example, there are no secret areas hidden in obscure places. Then in terms of level design, the console adaptations depict the same locations as the Amiga title, but with slightly different level layouts. Gone too are the giant Penguin biscuits from the original – and the requirement to save penguins. Instead you have to locate and set free Santa’s elves.
