"Creep" is a type-in published in the German "Happy Computer" magazine April 1988. You run and fly around with your jet pack equipped and totally unanimated spaceman shooting red robots and trying not to die by running into them or into deadly background elements. To complete a level two blue energy spots must be trasnported from the very left of the playfield to the transfer port on the very right side. You wouldn´t have guessed that it is actually a sports game: the backstory describes this activity a being the hottest sport of the 3rd millenium. It looks and sounds okay at first glance, but the game area is small and underdeveloped (you cannot land on anything but ground) and quite void of anything motivating you. It is captivating for 2 minutes max. Having said that, for a type-in the looks and sounds are quite an achievement.

Anyone knows what to do in this game ?!? Well, I can shoot the many (small) creatures - but is this all one can do ?!? -Andreas Koch.
