Platformer: Radical Moves
'ScattergoodStudios' has rereleased its game "Radical Rob" originally written in 1992 as Radical Moves. In this platform game, offering 99 levels, the player Rob "has to rid the world of evil fluffies, collect drink cans and work your way through each level." (YouTube-Video).

Rob has an unlimited supply of plasma bombs to clobber baddies with. Once hit, a meanie will remain stunned for a few seconds. This gives Rob enough time to run over them and finish them off.

The game can be purchased for at least about 2,50 Euro as adf file. (dr)
