What it is
Todd's Adventures in Slime World is a platforming action game from Epyx, with Todd the space explorer searching for slime gems on a planet of goo and dangerous life forms. The remastered emulated version contains both the original Atari Lynx game and the later Sega Mega Drive port. Todd carries a water gun through six adventures, each built around a different challenge, from finding an exit to surviving without restarts. Tools along the way include shields, bait, bombs and jetpacks. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, co-op, shared or split-screen play, controller support, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. The game is listed for Windows on Steam, while its broader platform list includes Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, Windows and Atari Lynx. The supplied description says the enhanced version adds modern features, but its details end after mentioning saving and loading; no further specifics are listed.
