_________________________

Crack Down is a time-limited action game. The two heroes, Ben and Andy, have to get through the levels as quickly as possible placing bombs on X marks scattered around the levels. Although the levels are heavily defended, the player has an array of weaponry including a cannon, machine gun, and superbombs. 

The game may be played as either a one or two-player game. 

Trivia

Amiga version

A mastering error on most copies of the Amiga version causes the final level to crash. A working version is preserved by the SPS project. 

Copy protection

The manual had got words from the game ("Dockyard, Atari, Bio-bot", ...) printed on each of the four edges of each page. The copy protection scheme asked questions from these words.

Description from the packaging  (US) :

He got a new ROM-job and now his nose is out of joint.

Dr. Oscar K. is after human hide. This white-coat-gone-turncoat was in charge of experimental research at an underground factory that produced half-human, half robot cyborgs. Former employees- the ones who survived- say he was a decent guy until he went buggy and wired his borgs for evil. Now they want to destroy human beings- instead of putting hubcaps on new cars. Needless to say, it's up to you to destroy these haywire hybrids.

Don't be fooled by the flesh tone.

If it's pasty faced, it's after anything that's pure biology. Take another freedom fighter down the manhole with you, or go solo. Just see to it that all the bombs are set in the right places. Then scram before they go off. Move onto more hostile sectors, where corners get darker and more dangerous. You have machine guns and full brain capacity on your side. The cyborgs only have half-a-mind, but a sinister set of software to eliminate you.
