Описание:
'Netherworld' — это классическая экшен-шутер игра, выпущенная в 1988 году для платформ ZX Spectrum и Amstrad CPC. Разработанная Юккой Тапанимяки и выпущенная компанией Hewson Consultants Ltd, игра погружает игроков в уникальную и сложную среду. Сюжет сосредоточен на том, что игрок застрял в незнакомом мире, где главная цель — собрать достаточно местной валюты для побега.
Игровой процесс включает в себя прохождение различных уровней, наполненных препятствиями, такими как кислотные пузыри, драконы и другие существа. Игроки должны собирать алмазы в ограниченное время и использовать телепорты для перехода на последующие уровни. В игре представлены различные элементы, включая подвижные камни, секретные двери и генераторы пришельцев, что добавляет глубину и сложность.
Игроки могут использовать различные инструменты и стратегии, такие как использование подвижных камней для блокировки генераторов пришельцев или превращение их в алмазы с помощью устройства для сжатия алмазов. В игре также есть неожиданные бонусы, которые могут как помочь, так и помешать прогрессу, такие как дополнительные жизни или обратное управление.
'Netherworld' известна своими увлекательными игровыми механиками и сложными сценариями. Игра была хорошо принята за инновационный дизайн и остается запоминающимся тайтлом в сообществе ретро-игр.

4 = Sound FX volume up
9 = Music on/off (effects become fuller)

- demons: these spit deadly bubbles
- alien generators: spit various nasties
- alien eggs: blast them away if they obstruct your path
- movable rocks: use them to block alien generators, change them to
diamonds by pushing them inside a diamond squeezer and use them to
change the course of the mines
- diamond squeezer: a moving rock when pushed into a diamond squeezer
changes to a diamond
- metamorphosis walls: if a mine hits one of these it changes to four
diamonds
- scanner mine: follows the perimeter of any object clockwise
- bounder mine: flies in a straight line until it collides with a solid
object when it changes direction 90º clockwise
- hover mine: moves vertically (deadly to touch)
- teleport: touch a teleport and press fire button to get a fast
transport.
- Goat's head - spits acid blood (deadly to touch)
- an hour glass: pick it up to get 30 seconds extra time
After shooting the aliens some of them leave behind glowing icons.
100, 250, 500 - extra points
