Adventures of Robbo is a fun little puzzle game by the creators of Heartlight PC. You guide Robbo through levels in which push objects but not pull them, and he can shoot at enemies or blow up bombs when he has enough battery power. He must collect all bolts in every level without being destroyed or blocking his access to the bolts or the exit, so planning is very important. Along with Heartlight PC and Electro Man, this game was part of the Epic Puzzle Pack, and was the only game not to be released as a shareware version. The original, unreleased shareware version has been lost, but programmer Maciej Miasik has generously recompiled it from the original source code. The full version features more levels and voice.

A very unusual platformer. Your play a cyborg named Jack, a human modified to look like Robocop in order to fight robots who killed your family. Your goal is to locate three computer chips in every level. Your gun only fires when you can find energy for it, and you have infinite lives, which is good because this is a very hard game. One of the difficult aspects of the game is the attempt at realistic physics. You can't change your direction in mid-air, meaning that you can't jump straight up and then push forward, you must be moving forward to jump forward. Once you've jumped, you can't push in the opposite direction to try to come down closer. Not being able to change direction in mid-air may be a difficult adaptation if you're used to console video games; inertia is a real consideration in this game. The graphics and sound are quite good, and there are voices. Originally published by CDV Software as electro BODY, the name was changed to Electro Man when published by Epic. There are 8 levels in this game, with only the fourth level playable in the shareware version.

You can move up, down, left and right, in levels where hearts, rocks, bombs, and other objects are suspended in a field of grass. The challenge comes from properly using gravity to drop obstacles out of your path without trapping yourself or the hearts, or strategically dropping explosives to reach new areas.
