Mike Mech - A fabulous C64 homebrew arrives on the Amiga via LC-Games

A frantic race against time has arrived on the Amiga ported over from a brilliant C64 homebrew with this new retro-inspired puzzle-platformer from LC-Games. In this new platformer, a massive interstellar vessel has been overrun by hostile alien entities. The invaders have systematically deactivated the ship’s supply batteries, cutting off the propulsion systems and leaving the crew drifting in the void. Players step into the oil-stained boots of Mike, the ship’s resident mechanic. Unlike typical space heroes, Mike isn’t armed with laser blasters or plasma grenades. Instead, he must rely on his agility and technical know-how to navigate the ship’s treacherous power rooms and return the power to the spaceship.
