Some areas of a particular screen present you with a challenge to defeat numerous robotic and other electronic forces. These characters can cause you to lose the challenge by bombarding you with lasers, rockets, and other devices. Hidden gadgets and magnetic strongholds within the user field background can easily trap the player, and as a result, the character falls immediate prey to the enemy. Strategies such as counter-attacking are essential to successful playing. There are some negative aspects inherent in this game.
Programming errors appear during some screen dialogues.
These involve correct keyboard functions making the character disappear, a very frustrating issue to resolve. Also, because the program runs under WAP, or Windows Animation Programmer, the screen may flash at different sectors of the game. After conducting research on the animation programming source, it was discovered that this programming source could promote some system malfunctions. Macintosh users should not worry, for the harddrive platform is not likely to cause an error unless it is under a Windows emulator. While the concept of the game was promising, the poor graphics and stilted animation along with numerous program errors makes The Adventures of MicroMan probably a game to leave on the computer store shelf.
