Floyd's Bank

I almost had to rob a bank to pay for my Lynx, but I settled for an overdraft instead. Now Romik have given me the chance to make up for lost opportunity, but to be honest I wouldn't even rob a piggy bank to pay for this game, let alone pay for it out of my own pocket.

Your task is to penetrate the defences of Floyds Bank, steal the gold, and escape. There are four screens, each of which you must complete in a race against the clock.

You are given two attempts at each screen and if you succeed you pass on to the next. Like other Romik games, the action is very fast at the higher levels, but in this case the graphics are appalling when one takes into account the Lynx's capabilities.

Using the cursor keys you manoeuvre a small figure through the first three screens, dodging mines in the first, navigating a constantly changing maze in the second, and collecting treasure in the third.

In the fourth screen, which is the only really challenging one, you have to escape from a room patrolled by heatseeking robots.

There are nine levels of play and at the highest level, this last screen is very Floyds Bank offers a freeze option and the possibility of playing a silent game if the clicks and beeps get on your nerves.

The Lynx has been very badly served when it comes to games software, but sadly this offering from Romik doesn't do much to fill the gap.
