As Super G-Man your task is to explore the Sea of Dreams region, using your jetpack and laser to negotiate some alien-littered landscapes.
It is, in fact, a Scrambler clone - but a good one. Although graphics are decent but nothing exceptional, and sound is rather sparse although with some nice tunes by David Whittaker, the fast pace of the game, the necessity of keeping a constant eye on your fuel and ammo levels and the many different obstacles you must overcome - including a careful choice of teleporters, which can help as well as hinder you! - make Super G-Man a little and pleasant budget shooter.
You start with an ominous Kosmic Kanga-like jumping, but likely you can learn how to tame it and move in more sensible ways. The graphics are more well drawn and chromatically sober than in the similar Mission Jupiter, and once you learn how to control your G-Man properly, it's not terrible - although it's not the most smooth gameplay. Sometimes it feels a bit like the jet pack version of Scrambler. Cool sounding tune with drums, sort of. Cool jingle when you die too. Who wouldn't want a cool jingle when dying?
3/5
