Molecule man

History of Molecule Man

Molecule Man is a maze game published by Mastertronic in 1986 for the MSX.

We are trapped in a gigantic three-dimensional labyrinth, from which a lethal radioactivity emanates. The only way to escape before the radiation consumes us is through a teleporter that we must assemble by finding the pieces that make up its circuitry.

You must activate the teleport system before it's too late. Survive the dangerous radioactive maze!

How to play Molecule Man

We have a time limit to achieve our objective and not perish in the labyrinth. We start with twenty anti-radioactivity pills that are quickly consumed, which we can replenish in various vending machines scattered around the map, if we have enough money.

To activate the teleporter we have to collect the sixteen pieces that make up the teleporter, which are also scattered around the place. There are certain areas that are impossible to pass through unless we destroy them with bombs, but these also cost money, as do the pills. It is up to us to decide where to spend our money...
