It features the adventure of Spirou trying to save his kidnapped friend Count Champignac and stop his arch-enemy Cyanida from making robots rule the earth.

Spirou is a platformer type of video game where the titular main character with the same name can walk, run, jump and duck.

Spirou, a journalist, and his friend Fantasio visit New York for an international conference of scientific research.

It was generally well received, most critics noting the graphics and fluid animations in both the console and Game Boy versions.

In addition, the soundtrack and varying gameplay fared well with critics and the controls of the game were noted for being precise and easy to use.

Also, due to the inclusion of only one password to save progress some reviewers meant that too many levels had to be replayed to get to the point in the game where the player had been.
