Metropolis

About

Metropolis is a 1987 DOS and Amstrad CPC adventure game where you play Moonboots, a stranded lunar explorer. Your goal is to scavenge parts and refuel your spaceship to escape the city. The game leans heavily on text input for exploration and problem solving. Simple graphics and a straightforward interface let you focus on decoding cryptic clues and navigating environments to progress. The game stands out for its retro charm and challenge, requiring careful attention to detail. Developed by Arcadia Systems and published by Mastertronic, it reflects the era’s text-heavy adventure design. Though dated by today’s standards, its puzzle-driven approach offers a nostalgic test of persistence for fans of classic point-and-click titles.
