## Description
New York in the future is a dangerous place with criminals wandering the
streets and causing havoc. The Mayor is desperate for any sort of help and you
are the answers to his prayers. You are Tom Essex and you have drunk a bottle
of formula invented by your uncle which turned you into Superkid. You now have
the ability to fly and you have a Super Punch which knocks-out the criminals
with one punch. You must explore three parts of the city stopping the
criminals but also finding and rescuing girls on top of the roof-tops and
taking them back home. There are also Grannys to escort from the Library to
their home. Be careful not to touch the Grannys or you will kill them.
You have a set quota of how many to rescue and if you complete your quota then
it’s on to the next level. If you hit a criminal, get shot, have a granny or
girl killed then your Crimewave Overload meter rises and if it reaches the top
then you lose one of three lives. If you punch a criminal or rescue a girl or
granny then the meter decreases. Once you have completed three levels then you
repeat them but this time at night with more people to rescue and with more
criminals and faster ones.
_Superkid_ is a flick-screen platform game with part of the level shown on
the screen for one or two players. Each player takes it in turns when the
other player loses a life. As well as the main playing area you can also your
score, number of lives, your rescue quotas and your Crimewave Overload meter.
A joystick or keyboard can be used to control your hero.
