Repton 2 on Acorn Electron 8 bit vintage home computer

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gameplay from Repton 2 by superior Software, on the Acorn Electron 8 bit vintage home computer. Retro Gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

Steve, did you ever go back to this?

[SteveBenway]

@LeShark75 No, I rarely get time to go back to games I've covered. It's one of those "one day" things... probably when I've retired... lol :)

What's the big deal with these Repton games? They look really dull.

[SteveBenway]

If you're looking for an action type maze game, you'd certainly not be thrilled, but that's not what they're about.

They're much more of a cerebral puzzle type game.

How do you not know what a transporter is LOL.

Repton was king!

I was so into repton when i was 5

[mcgigglish]

@Foebane72 They were very addictive puzzle, solving games actually.

The Electron versions weren't the best advertisement for them - but still they stand out as some of the best games I played in that era (along with Elite, Knightlore, SabreWulf, Exile)

[DuRiechstSoGut666]

Good vid. I also played Repton 1 lots, not so much this. All that transporting spoiled it.

Allegedly this game was so hard the author couldn't complete it!. Which is fair enough though because the author of the FAQ (i.e. me!!) can't fully complete it either

[markvergeer]

I thought so - but of course I could be fooled by a hacked version.... I need to source it down.

The "weird dance / seizure" - looks to me like he's climbing on the wall.

It's a shame you don't have those particular models. I must say I find it hard to believe that somebody has a bigger collection than yours... but eh, do they all work? I belive you metion that all but one of yours work, can't remember which you said was broken but it wasn't such a well-known one.
