Switchblade 2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Switchblade 2 or Switchblade II is a computer game of the run and gun genre. It was released for the Amiga and the Atari ST by Gremlin in May 1991, and for the Atari Lynx in 1992.

Switchblade 2, sequel of Switchblade, is a cross between a shoot 'em up and a platform game. The action is viewed from the side. The player guides the protagonist, Hiro, through six levels infested with mechanoid, metal-clad enemies. Weapons include a knife, homing missiles, a laser beam, a flame thrower and shuriken.

Although developed in Europe, the game's graphics have a very Japanese feel to them.
