Technically it's all fine with neat, fast graphics and it has pleasing sound effects but it lacks any kind of extra feature to make it stand out from the crowd. Read Review

An interesting game initially, with well-designed graphics, but it fails to sustain that interest. Read Review
Full Instructions
Frankenstein 2000
The year 2000 A.D. Freddy Frankenstein, the great grandson of the infamous Baron has inherited the old castle in Bavaria. On taking possession of the estate he discovers the location of his great grandfather's creation, the Monster. He decides to follow in this ancestor's footsteps and revive the Monster using all the available modern technology to help him. After many weeks of sleepless nights, the experiment is ready. Freddy will shrink an Explorer class submarine, with himself inside it, to sub-particle size, and inject himself into the Monster's vast body, in an effort to correct the defects and get the heart started again.
Playing Instructions
Trachea
Destroy as many hopping frogs as possible whilst you journey down the throat.
Lung
Wipe out the rampaging cigarette packets whilst avoiding the lethal CO2 bubbles.
Heart
Battle your way through to the implant avoiding the electrical impulses and pumping heart valves. Then launch a torpedo at the implant to activate the heart.
Stomach
Your motors are now starting to overheat and are in desperate need of some lubricating grease. Within the stomach walls the deadly fried eggs must be avoided until you have managed to obtain six slices of greasy bacon.
Brain
Finally you reach the brain. You must now neutralise the eight mutant neurons by nudging them off the delicately tuned circuit board.
