Atomic Robo-Kid (Special) [Arcade/PCE/MD]

[Perikles]

Alright, there's one more game I'd like to have a (questionable) score topic for! I get the impression this game is not particularly well reputed, although I'm not entirely sure why that is. It's no Mr. Heli no Daibouken, but as far as push-scrollers are concerned, I would say it is pretty good. Useful weapons, some considerably large bosses, even the stage design is usually solid. Blasting through the stages once you know their layout is quite enjoyable to be rather frank.

The obvious problem with the ports is that scoring is somewhat meaningless what with the endlessly respawning enemies and the lack of a time limit. I've read that even the arcade version has an infinite scoring problem, I'm not sure how that is since you have said time limit there and only get a finite amount of extends as fas as I know.

Note that the MD version has Easy as the default setting.

And so we end up with this format:

Version - Difficulty (for the MD port)
Name - Score - Stage
