A desert quest through Paris, London, and New York

The briefing

About this game

In Bob Winner, the protagonist searches the desert for a lost civilisation. To reach it, he must collect three keys by defeating bosses in Paris, London, and New York.

The game combines side-view, flip-screen action with hand-to-hand combat. Items needed to overcome each boss are found on the preceding screens, while rolling barrels and flying insects create additional hazards. The first two bosses are boxers, followed by a gun-toting cowboy.
