Have You Played… Action Man: Raid On Island X?A real action game
A real action game
If I remember correctly, Action Man: Raid On Island X dropped out of a cereal box. This was back when cereal had that Happy Meal generosity, and you’d look forward to that thump as a gift caked in dust landed in your bowl. You won’t find any game demos in those wheat crunchie crumbs anymore.
Definitely not one on the level of Action Man: Raid On Island X at least. It was the absolute business.

Memories are hazy, but I think Island X was the home of Dr X, Action Man’s arch-nemesis. He had a robotic arm, purple trousers, and looked like he road a loud Harley Davidson in an aggressive manner. In Raid On Island X, you’d infilitrate his island and foil his masterplan - whatever that was.
I particularly liked one mini-game which had you floating along in this special scuba diving suit, dodging sea mines, and shooting jellyfish or robotic sharks. It was a simpler time, but a very good time.
