Instructions

This is a remake of Entombed, an Atari 2600 game released in 1982 by U.S. Games. It was.designed by Tom Sloper and programmed by Steven Sidley. See below for more information about this fascinating game. Navigate the maze using WASD or arrow keys. Get as far as possible (progress indicated bottom right). Make/break walls using the space key. Walls will not make/break if you stand too close to the edge between two grid cells. Collect make/break blocks (number collected is indicated bottom left). Avoid zombies. Back cover text (modified for 1-player only): Entombed is a full color game designed to be played on the Atari Video Computer System or the Sears Video Arcade. You, an archaeologist, have fallen into the "catacombs of the zombies." There's no time to look around; these guys are after you, and they mean business. Your only salvation is that you have discovered the secret to the "make-break." Grab them, and you can break through walls when you get stuck, or create a wall behind you - if you are being chased.
