Tubopac

Your goal is to harvest the oil from the ground avoiding 'bugs' which, getting in contact with robotic arm you use, will eventually make you 'die'.

Simple yet addictive remake of one of earliest Sierra games .

Now that's a cool retro game! Graphics and music fits the atmosphere and create a retro feeling that brings you back to the good old arcade times.

But "Turbopac" is quite short (there are only 12 levels) and easy to solve. I finished it the first time before I even noticed that there is a retract key. After I noticed it only took ten minutes to finish it once more. So I changed the difficulty level to "hard" and it took me 15 minutes. Tried "hardest" and it was a bit better. At least you loose a life from time to time. As there is another difficulty mode called "Inferno", I think that one will be hard enough for experienced gamers.

It's "Tubo", not "Turbo". Like in "tube". ^^

It has amazing retro-ish gameplay, and will keep you occupied for a while.
