    Atomic Robo-Kid (アトミック・ロボキッド) is a Sega Mega Drive horizontal shoot-'em-up game developed by Khaos and published by Treco. A port of the titular 1988 UPL arcade title Atomic Robo-Kid, the game was first released in Japan in December 1990, and was later released in the United States in February of the following year.

    Story

    Earth outpost colony Terra-12 has nearly been destroyed by an alien invasion and strange radiation. The small battle robot Atomic Robo-Kid is tasked with saving the colony.

    Gameplay

    A shoots, B changes the weapon (when flying) or jumps (when on ground), holding B locks the direction and  START  pauses the game.
