I finished Brataccus about three days after I bought it for my Atari ST.
All that you have to do is be quick with your sword, find the two pieces
of evidence, and return to the transport tube that you arrived at and 
leave.  Some helpful hints are:  carry as many BOMBS as you can carry when
going through the police station, and drop them in FRONT of the robots.
When they try to pass over the BOMBS, they fry.  When fighting, run around
a lot.  The most effective blow is given by holding the left mouse button
down and moving it in the direction of the opponent (left or right).

That's about it.  Most of the time I spent trying to get the guy to move.
After you master it...there is nothing to the game.  I was disappointed
that it wasn't more difficult.  The animation on the ST also gets a bit
slow when there are lot of objects and people moving.  I haven't seen the
Amiga version, but I could imagine that the animation is much better.
