Featuring gorgeous graphics, amazing music, and a host of popular characters including the beloved Astro Boy himself, Omega Factor is an in-your-face side-scrolling beat-em-up that takes off like a Ferrari as soon as you turn it on! Use Astro Boy's numerous abilities to prevent war between people and robots by punching and blasting all who get in his path! The action is divided between foot and flying missions, and the game's difficulty curve allows anyone to jump right in and play. At the same time, the game provides a challenge to those who wish to see it to its satisfying conclusion. Both awesome as well as nostalgic, Astro Boy rockets to the very top of videogame masterpieces.
