In Electroman, the object of the game is to collect power ups while defeating your enemies and reaching your goal. Although upon first glance the game seems boring, this is not the case. With its fun game play, and simplicity, it remains a much sought after and fun game. I myself have 2 copies of the game and have enjoyed it for many years and hope that I will for many years to come.

Electroman, although very simple, seems to draw you in as u play it. After only a short dosage of the game, you seem compelled to play more. This game is in my top ten games, matching in my opinion to that of games such as World of War Craft, Runescape, and of course the
old fave, Grand Theft Auto.
Electroman is but a simple shoot 'em up game, however its in depth game play, and aggravating yet extremely fun levels make it a great game.
Electroman is a classic platform game with elements of puzzle solving thrown in. You have to guide Electroman through the levels, using things such as teleporters, while blasting away your enemies and collecting weapon upgrades or powerups. Collecting powerups is essential to the game play, as, with time, your weapon will downgrade itself, until, eventually, you cannot fire at all!
The game itself is very similar to Electro Body, published by xLand several months before. The graphics for this game are excellent. This remains one of the all time classics and I would recommend it to anyone. The game features great background art, which shows items such as pipes, ladders, the Electroman logo, phones, and glowing boxes. You must dodge things, such as guns, appearing from the roofs that fire in a downward motion. You need precise timing and great patience to be good at this game.
You must find enemies, such as walking androids, who will occasionally stop and fire hoping to hit you. You must jump to avoid certain obstacles, and you may destroy some of the background art featured in this game, such as the glowing crystals and the phones. You must collect batteries in order to powerup your gun and keep it able to fire. This game contains many aggravating puzzles, many of which are simple yet very confusing. Trial and error will help you solve some of them.
I recommend this game to all as one of the all time great classic DOS games. Good luck and have fun playing :)
