The Forbidden Crypt

A hero explores a crypt of four tomb chambers, each guarded by four creatures of one kind: snakes, spiders, ghouls or bats. From the corridors, step into a door to enter a chamber; the door seals behind you, and the way out is the door on the far side. The creatures close in; the button throws a magic bolt the way you last walked, three a visit, one in the air at a time. A bolt that meets a creature ends it for 10 points, and the others speed up. Touch the chamber's treasure, a chest, chalice, shield or urn, to take it for 300 points. A creature's touch costs a life and the treasure from that visit. All four treasures out begins the next level; every fourth level gives a life and speeds everything up. You have five lives.

Controls: Use either controller. The stick walks and either button throws a bolt; hold it for one every half second. On the title, up and down choose a line and a button starts or shows the credits.
