A fantastic droid voyage, no less! In this new offering from Softek you become a minuscule brain surgeon incarcerated within the bug-ridden bonce of a not-so-super robot. These bugs are busy sabotaging the poor ol' droid by ripping up his plumbing. As resident micro surgeon you must skate around the twelve sectors of the damaged droid and clean up the mess.

You'll need to repel the bugs with your stun balls and repair the dripping pipes before cumulative damage causes the poor old thing to collapse into an undignified pile of nuts and bolts.

Then, if you get the damage level down to around 12%, you're transported to another dodgy robot. Some reward, huh?

The concept behind Microbot is refreshingly novel; unfortunately, it's rather shafted by some sluggish gameplay. Your little micro surgeon can only trundle about in first gear and consequently the ensuing bug-battles are somewhat unexciting. A shame. Still, the graphics are very good indeed and there's a wonderful selection of bugs to avoid.
