Sammy the Cyclebot

Sammy the Cyclebot
Developer: Tony Small Publisher: Cellusoft Platform: Mac OS Classic Released in US: 1995 This game has a hidden developer message.

Sammy the Cyclebot is the really obscure sequel to the already obscure Quagmire. It's so obscure that there's not a single record that anyone has beaten the game. Considering that it's that much harder than its predecessor, that's saying something.
