Metro-Cross is a frantic 1985 Namco arcade ported to Amiga in 2013 by Wanted Team via reverse-engineering the Atari ST version—pure retro runner action where you control a tiny jogger leaping gaps, dodging potholes, and grabbing energy drinks on subway tracks.
Race against a timer across 32 isometric courses, jumping barriers, sliding under pipes, and hammering speed boosts while hazards like sewer covers and falling ceiling blocks punish mistakes; one life per go, with passwords for retrying. Crowd cheers and boos add charm as your stamina meter drains from stumbles, forcing quick recoveries amid pixel-perfect timing.
## Amiga Port Strengths
Wanted Team’s faithful ST conversion captures smooth scrolling and wide 16-bit view on 1MB Amiga, with vibrant colors and responsive controls that feel arcade-close—ideal for speedrunners craving that ’80s bite. Playable via simple HD unpack, it’s a hidden gem for emulator fans, evoking Namco’s Track & Field energy in endless sprint form.
It’s notoriously tough post-level 3, with sluggish Amiga speed compared to C64/ST originals and minor slowdowns on busy screens, feeling unfinished despite solid visuals. Still, a cool nostalgia hit for Amiga collectors—3/5 in ’88 mags, but shines in short, addictive bursts today.
