Mike Mech 2 (C64)

This game runs perfectly on both PAL and NTSC models of the Commodore 64.

Gameplay

The game is set inside a cargo spaceship which, during one of the countless journeys to transport minerals to the home planet Gravion, was invaded by alien entities. The aim is to guide Mike, the on-board mechanic, inside the various cargo holds (four in total) and activate all the levers present in them.

The player has the option to move through the rooms by jumping from platform to platform, using ladders, or riding elevators that move vertically or horizontally. Sometimes there are portals through which the player can teleport to another point in the room.

Mike has no defense against the aliens. The only way to complete the game is therefore to avoid them so as not to lose a life. Even contact with the cooling fans, present in some rooms, is fatal.

Along the way, Mike will come across some locked doors. To open these doors, electronic keys will need to be collected.

Mike will also be able to access terminals, present in most of the rooms, which show the layout of the ship and indicate the rooms in which all the levers have been activated (green color) and those in which there are still levers to activate (red color).

In the rooms there are also crystals which, if collected, increase the player's score. For each crystal collected, the point value of the next one increases by 10.

Once all the levers are activated, Mike will have to leave the cargo hold, and a powerful microwave beam will pass through all the rooms disintegrating the aliens. At that point, the player will move on to the next hold.

At 5000 points and every 15000 points thereafter, the player earns an extra life.

The player also has the option to practice with a single cargo hold, for a maximum duration of 10 minutes, by selecting PRACTICE during the title screen.
