Brilliant! Repton 2 is better than anything I've played on the BBC Micro or Electron before. Read Review
Superior claim that Repton 2 is 'more than just a sequel, a new experience'... and I must say that I agree with them. Read Review
A sequel which fairly bursts from the screen in a riot of skill, colour and excitement. Read Review
Well worth buying - even for existing Repton owners, which is something that can rarely be said for sequels. Read Review
Sounds and music are optional... Graphics are superb... For Repton addicts, an opportunity to carry on where the other left off... Read Review
In order to complete Repton 2, you must:
Each level requires you to solve a series of puzzles by determining your routes carefully. The puzzles are often craftily constructed, and some involve a time element. A rock or egg will fall if it is unsupported, and if a falling rock lands on you it will kill you. Contact with the monsters, spirits, meteors or skills is also fatal - you have three lives. There is no time limit to any section of the game.
Scattered throughout the sixteen levels are all the jigsaw pieces of a 42-piece puzzle. When each piece is collected it reappears at the bottom of the first screen. The completed puzzle reads "REPTON 2 IS ENDED".
The surface of the first screen cannot be accessed immediately because the way is blocked by five skulls. Five puzzle pieces are also inaccessible due to another five skulls. These skulls do, however, disappear. One pair disappears when each of the following tasks is accomplished: collecting all the earth, collecting all the diamonds, killing all the monsters, using all the transporters, collecting 41 out of the 42 puzzle pieces. The surface of the first screen can then be reached and the "finish character" collected.
The sixteen levels are linked by transporters. Each transporter may only be used once, and it always transports to the same position on the same screen.
When an egg falls, it cracks upon landing and a monster emerges. The monsters are killed by falling boulders.
On many levels, there are up to eight spirits. Spirits always follow the walls to their left until they reach a cage. When a spirit enters a cage, it changes into a diamond. Therefore, to complete the game, you must also cage all the spirits. Spirits are normally immune to any falling object. However, it is sometimes possible to daze a spirit by collecting all the diamonds from directly around it, or by dropping boulders onto it. This is to be avoided, as the spirit will then move endlessly in a small circle.
Meteors fall from above on six of the levels of play. Two other levels are also open to space, but no meteors fall from the sky.
Some diamonds are hidden in safes which can only be opened by locating and moving over a combination key. When a key is collected, all the safes on that level open to reveal their diamonds.
Z - Left, X - Right, : - Up, ? - Down
ESCAPE - Kill Yourself (useful if you become trapped)
Each earth section scores 3, 4 or 5 points.
Each diamond scores six points.
Tape: CHAIN"" (RETURN)
Disc: Press SHIFT-BREAK and wait for the program to load.
