About Repton
Repton is the ultimate thinking man's arcade game requiring dexterity to complete its arcade-style elements and clear logical thinking to solve its strategic puzzles. The Symbian release is an official conversion of the 80's BBC Micro classic, which sold over 125,000 copies in the UK.
In essence, Repton traverses mazes retrieving treasure from cleverly-constructed traps of falling rocks whilst avoiding the fearsome monsters. However, it is impossible to explain the appeal of the game in words: you have to play it to understand!
Features
- Faithful recreation of the original compelling gameplay
- Enhanced graphics and bonus levels
- Comprehensive tutorials introducing newcomers to the world of Repton, and refreshing veteran's memories
What The Press Say
"A challenging diversion with perfectly balanced game play" (82%)
"Repton was the Mario of the platform [BBC Micro home computer]"
"Developers have attempted to create a reptilian videogame icon, but none have ever proved as recognisable as Repton's eponymous hero."
"Here's an amusing little fact for you - my first tentative steps into the world of videogame journalism came at the tender age of nine, when I wrote a fictionalized walkthrough of the first level of Repton for my school magazine."
"The first game I ever played was Repton. It's what got me hooked on computer games and this news has put a bloody great big grin on my face..."

on Apr 5, 2004 - Repton was one of the 1st games I bought on my Acorn Electron, and playing this on my 6600 has brought back many happy memories. It's funny how after all these years I can still remember some of the puzzles in these excellently designed levels. An excellent game in its own right, and perfect for whiling away 10 minutes at a time, waiting for the missus, or for my code to compile....

on Nov 4, 2002 - This game is fantastic. I've bought a load of games for the 7650 and this is by far the best. It's fast, challenging and addictive and perfect to play whilst on the move. I've been playing for a month now and still can't put it down - only 2 more levels to go!
