Moby ID: 78227

Description

Sparkie is a action game where you need to clear a level to get to the next. Each screen is one level. To clear the level you either need to make the entire level blue, which you do simply by walking around, or eradicate all fiery enemies that can spark your fuse. For this your able to shoot water at them. The small flames can be quickly extinguished, but new ones keep appearing as long as you do not extinguish the fires they come out of. The larger enemies require several hits. Also pay attention to blocks changing colour to red, that means it is about to combust and an enemy will appear there.

One of the few games in which you play a bomb

The Good
Sparkie has a cute conceit - you're a bomb running around a maze with a water gun, chased by flames.

The Bad
Music is a bit repetitive.

The Bottom Line
Missed its mark - would have been an arcade banger in 1982, but for 83 its gameplay and music seem dated.
