Tinhead is a platform video game developed by Microprose U.K. and published by Ballistic and Spectrum HoloByte for the Sega Genesis.

Plot – TinHead

An evil intergalactic goblin named Grim Squidge steals all the stars from the sky with a vacuum cleaner-nosed spaceship, seals them in glass spheres and scatters them far and wide across distant planets, threatening the very infrastructure of spacetime.

On a space station far out in the distant reaches of galactic space, Tinhead, the metallic Guardian of the Edge of the Universe, picks up a distress signal from an unknown friend of the stars. Arming his head-mounted ball bearing gun, he rushes to the stars’ rescue.

Release – TinHead

Ports for both the Amiga and Super Nintendo Entertainment System were in development and scheduled for 1994 but were cancelled.^[3] Former MicroProse UK employee Steve Goss stated in a 2001 forum post at AtariAge that a conversion of the game was also in development and completed for the Atari Jaguar but was never released due to low sales of the system.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Reception – TinHead

Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the game a 6.4 out of 10, commenting that the game is on the hard side but gets by due to useful power-ups and “dynamic” bosses. They cited the graphics as the highlight of the game.^[7]
