Description
You are trapped in a maze of electrified walls and deadly mechanical monsters programmed by an evil scientist to kill intruders. Collect the gold that was stolen from you, dodge laser pellets shot by the monsters, and blast a few of them in return.
In this ROM cartridge game you maneuver a figure through simple "mazes," exiting by a doorway on any of the sides you did not start on, which puts you in another such maze and gives you another "man." On the way, you must out-maneuver monsters who become increasingly aggressive with each maze and shortly start shooting at you. You can maneuver the monsters into walls or each other, or just shoot them. Grabbing the treasure will help your score along, too. The game does not actually offer escape from the maze; the best you can hope for is vengeance and a high score.
At first glance your perspective is top-down, looking down at the walls of the maze, but your man, the monsters, and the treasure, are all shown from the side.
