Dark Adventure

There are three characters, each controlled by a different player, who carry different weapons: Labryna, a woman in a pink dress who wields a sword; Zorlock, a man in a white suit who carries a spear; and Condor, an Indiana Jones look-alike who carries a whip.

The object of the game is to travel throughout the many areas of the game in an attempt to escape from the world in which you are trapped by destroying the leader of the Demon empire. The enemies include rats, giant spiders, skeletons and other monsters.

Players can pick up special items to help them in their quest including:

• Magic Power that makes their weapons more powerful
• Laser Guns that can disintagrate enemies
• Flamethrowers that can burn enemies
• Shields that protect from enemy attacks
• Dynamite that can blow up the enemies
• Speed-Ups that can increase their speed
• Food that can replentish their energy levels.

In each area, the player(s) must find a key that will open the door that will lead to the next area. The Start button will display map which will provide clues to where the keys and the doors are, but it only works in certain areas.

There are 40 different areas in that world that the player(s) must explore before they can find and destroy the Demon leader and then return home.

There is an ending, but finding your way there takes a significant amount of skill or luck, depending on how you look at it. It requires mapping and exploration for the most part. The ending shows the character(s) sitting atop The Statue of Liberty.

Due to the complexity and difficulty of this game, it never faired well in the arcades. The title would have been much better suited for the home game market.

This game is also known as Devil World.
