Croco Magneto (UK) (19xx) - Amstrad CPC - Puzzle, Strategy

Another amazingly addictive machine code game. In this you play a small green blob which has to collect 92 jewels from a cavern of 23 screens. To hinder his/her progress there are several radioactive pads which kill your blob on collision. The blob moves left and right automatically, changing direction when it collects a jewel or hits a wall, all you have to worry about is the vertical control. A jolly little tune plays throughout which adds atmosphere to this very fast and addictive game. Croco Magneto originated from Croco News, a french disk based fanzine.
