The Life Of Repton (Superior/Acornsoft)

First there was Repton, then there was Repton 2 and Repton 3, and finally through popular demand Superior Software has released The Life Of Repton. This package is much like Repton 3 but has forty more action-packed screens depicting Repton's life from when he was but a small toddler surrounded by teddy bears to an old age pensioner with false teeth and spectacles.

For those who have managed to escape the Repton bug until now, this game offers great graphics and sound effects, along with many taxing puzzles. You control Repton as he roves around the landscape searching for goodies such as teddy bears and records. Unfortunately the area is full of hazards such as office equipment, aggressive clockwork toy soldiers, and endless cups of coffee! These hazards must be avoided at all costs, which is not always so easy.

If you are already a dedicated Repton fan, then you will definitely want to add this to your collection. If you have not yet played any of the Repton games but feel tempted, then this is by far the best Repton game to buy.
