Overview

The video game developed by Apogee Software, Ltd. and released in 1990 is a part of the Kroz series, which is known for its action-puzzle elements. Players navigate through a series of mazes filled with traps, monsters, and treasures, using limited resources and strategic planning to progress.

Gameplay

This game challenges players to use their wits to solve puzzles while avoiding or combating various creatures. The game is played from a top-down perspective, and the graphics are composed primarily of ASCII characters, which was typical of early Apogee games. Players collect gems that can be used to fend off enemies and open new paths.

Legacy

As part of the Kroz series, it contributed to the early 90s shareware gaming movement. Apogee Software, which later became known for titles such as Duke Nukem, used these games to popularize the shareware distribution model, allowing players to try part of a game for free before purchasing the full version.
