Videogame

Knuckle Busters [computer game]. Knuckle Busters is a single player side scrolling action platformer. Players take on the role of Deke, a criminal escaping from a prision facility. Due to Deke’s tampering with the Central Computer, the facility and the city are expected to blow up, thus putting a time limit on the players. Players can jump and drop from platforms, avoid or fight androids, collect items and health from barrels and open doors. Deke’s condition is displayed to the player on a pop up menu including lives left, score, time count down, energy level and current object carried.
