Download VideoKid_Disk2 ROM – Amiga Game

Game Overview

VideoKid_Disk2 came out on the Amiga in 1992, published by Gremlin Graphics Software Limited. It was a time when side-scrolling action games were common, and this one stood out with its distinct, themed levels that took you through different time periods and settings.

You control a kid on a skateboard, navigating each themed level from left to right while throwing newspapers at enemies and obstacles. The main goal is to deliver all your papers and reach the end of each stage, which includes medieval, western, sci-fi, gangster, and horror settings. Key mechanics involve collecting power-ups to upgrade your weapons, like switching from basic papers to missiles or lasers, and avoiding a variety of enemies that change with each theme. The game moves at a brisk pace and can be quite challenging, with precise timing needed to dodge attacks and land your own. It feels chaotic and fast, demanding quick reflexes and a good memory for enemy patterns.
