Dr. Micro is a single-screen arcade platformer developed by Sanritsu in 1983. Drawing heavy inspiration from the era's biggest hits, this unassuming title casts you as an odd, earmuff-wearing hero on a mission to defeat an evil scientist across three distinct and challenging stages.
How to Play
Your objective is to navigate vertical platforms, ride floating objects, and survive industrial machinery to reach the titular Dr. Micro. The game uses standard arcade controls: use the joystick (arrow keys in the browser) to move your character, and press the action buttons (Z or X) to shoot enemies and jump.
Tips for Success
- Watch for the raft: On the first stage, don't panic if you miss a jump—a rubber life raft will often appear at the bottom to catch you.
- Manage your balloon: During the second stage, keep a close eye on your floating ball. It slowly deflates, requiring you to safely drop down and replace it while dealing with enemies.
