Plok! is a side-scrolling platform game developed by British studio Software Creations and its concepts and characters created and owned by Ste and John Pickford. It was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in late 1993 by Tradewest in North America, Nintendo in Europe, and Activision in Japan. Players portray the hood-headed titular protagonist, the king of the island Akrillic who is protecting it from fleas spawned by the Flea Queen, who is under the island's ground, as well as other bosses trying to overthrow Plok's power. His versatility lies in his four separable limbs, which can be used to shoot at targets and enemies, and several power-ups scattered throughout its colorful stages as "presents."

  • Plok! is a side-scrolling platform game developed by British studio Software Creations and its concepts and characters created and owned by Ste and John Pickford. It was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in late 1993 by Tradewest in North America, Nintendo in Europe, and Activision in Japan. Players portray the hood-headed titular protagonist, the king of the island Akrillic who is protecting it from fleas spawned by the Flea Queen, who is under the island's ground, as well as other bosses trying to overthrow Plok's power. His versatility lies in his four separable limbs, which can be used to shoot at targets and enemies, and several power-ups scattered throughout its colorful stages as "presents." Plok!'s history began in the late 1980s as a self-funded coin-op project by the two Pickford brothers named Fleapit; they worked on it while at Zippo Games and programmed it for Rare's 'Razz Board' hardware. It was cancelled in 1990 following the closure of Zippo Games, but was revived as a SNES game developed at Software Creations after the Pickfords were promoted to higher positions, with Ste becoming a art director and John a producer. Software Creations self-funded the game with the Pickfords owning intellectual property rights. Plok! was positively received by critics, who praised its innovative ideas, variety, presentation, versatile playable character, and level design; however, some expressed skepticism of it being the same cutesy colorful platform title as many others, and the Pickfords attributed its underwhelming sales to market saturation of mascot platformers.

  • Plok is een platformspel dat in 1993 uitgebracht is voor de Super Nintendo door Activision. In Plok bestuurt de speler een mannetje met dezelfde naam dat zijn ledematen weggooit om zijn vijanden te vernietigen. Verder kan hij springen en een aanval doen waarbij hij tollend de lucht in gaat. In een kleurrijke omgeving bestaande uit ongeveer 70 niveaus moet Plok zijn gestolen vlaggen terugvinden, door zijn vijanden neer te halen met zijn armen en benen. Onderweg moet hij puzzels oplossen waarbij hij zijn ledematen soms tijdelijk moet afstaan. Ook kan hij pakketjes tegenkomen die ervoor zorgen dat hij transformeert en tijdelijk een ander wapen krijgt, zoals een bokshandschoen of vlammenwerper. De moeilijkheidsgraad van dit spel ligt hoog vanwege het feit dat de speler het spel niet kan opslaan, terwijl het wel veel niveaus bevat. (nl)
