A player who survives any Pit level without losing a life earns the title of 'Worlord Supreme.'Įach dungeon begins with a dramatic rendition of the five- note opening from 'Danger Ahead'-the theme to the radio and television series Dragnet-with the fifth note only playing on the 'double score dungeon' screen. Every sixth dungeon after Level 13 is another Pit. A bonus Worrior is awarded before each of these levels. Level 4 is 'The Arena,' with a large open area in its center, and Level 13 is 'The Pit,' with no interior walls at all. There are two special dungeons with increased difficulty. The 'Worlord Dungeons' are more difficult than the earlier levels because they have fewer interior walls. Players are referred to as 'Worriors' during the first seven levels, then as 'Worlords' beyond that point. He uses a speech synthesizer to taunt the players throughout the game. The Wizard remains in the dungeon until he shoots a Worrior or is killed. After a few seconds the Wizard will disappear and teleport across the dungeon, gradually approaching a Worrior. The Wizard of Wor will appear in or after the second dungeon once the Worluk has either escaped or been killed. The level ends when the Worluk either escapes or is killed in the latter case, all point values for the next dungeon are doubled. From the second dungeon on, after the last Thorwor is killed, a Worluk will appear and try to escape through one of the side doors. There will never be more than six enemies on the screen at once. On every screen, killing a Garwor causes a Thorwor to appear. From the sixth dungeon on, a Garwor will replace every Burwor when killed. In the first dungeon, killing the last Burwor will make a Garwor appear in the second, the last two Burwors are replaced by Garwors when killed and so on. All enemies except the Worluk can shoot at the Worriors.Įach dungeon starts filled with six Burwors.

Garwor: A yellow Tyrannosaurus rex-type creature.īoth Garwors and Thorwors have the ability to turn invisible at times, but will always appear on the radar.

The various monsters include the following: Point values are doubled in a Double Score Dungeon. The enemy roster as seen on the Commodore 64 version. When the current Worrior is killed, the cubbyhole opens and the player has 10 seconds to move the backup into play before automatically being forced in. A small radar display indicates the positions of all active monsters.Īs long as a player has at least one life in reserve, a backup Worrior is displayed in a small sealed cubbyhole at the corresponding bottom corner of the dungeon. A player who exits the door can pop back through the door immediately when the Worluk or Wizard is in the dungeon. Whenever a door is traversed by a player or monster, both doors deactivate for a short period, making them impassable. Each dungeon has doors at the left and right edges, which connect with each other, making the dungeon wrap around. The Worriors and the monsters can travel freely through the corridors. Team-oriented players can successfully advance through the game by standing back-to-back (such as in a corner) and firing at anything that comes at them.Įach dungeon consists of a single-screen rectangular grid with walls and corridors in various formations. In a two-player game, the players are also able to shoot each other's Worriors, earning bonus points and causing the other player to lose a life. Player one has yellow Worriors, on the right, and player two has blue Worriors, on the left. The players' characters, called Worriors, must kill all the monsters by shooting them.
