Описание:
Underwurlde— это классическая аркадная приключенческая игра, выпущенная компанией Ultimate Play The Game в декабре 1984 года. Главный герой, Сейбрмен, должен преодолеть опасный подземный мир Underwurlde. В игре представлено 597 экранов, и игроки сталкиваются с различными существами, которые, вместо того чтобы убивать Сейбрмена, бросают его вокруг, усложняя навигацию.
Цель игры — вывести Сейбрмена из Underwurlde и вернуться в замок. Для этого необходимо преодолеть крупных монстров, блокирующих путь, которых можно победить только с помощью определенного оружия. Игра известна своей сложной лабиринтной структурой, где игрокам необходимо тщательно планировать маршрут, чтобы избежать падения в глубокие пропасти.
Underwurlde наполнен уникальными опасностями, такими как крылатые гарпии, горгульи и ядовитые растения, известные как "Сирены Underwurlde". Эти элементы добавляют сложности игре, требуя от игроков осторожности при прохождении темных пещер и лабиринтов.
Underwurlde является продолжением игры Sabrewulf, и его сюжет продолжается, когда Сейбрмен оказывается в этом опасном мире. Игра была примечательна введением функции гиперзагрузки для ускорения времени загрузки, что стало значительным технологическим достижением того времени.

INSTRUCTIONS
Underwurlde is a fast, action packed arcade adventure platform
game. The game is set deep underground in the Underwurlde.
Creatures attack from every angle and rather than kill you they
merely bounce you around. This make make the game sound easy,
but oh no! The enemies bounce you off cliffs, off ropes and into
deep chasms, dropping to your doom.
The object of the game is to guide Sabreman out of the
Underwurlde and back out of castle. This is easier said than
done. The game features 597 screens and also large monsters
blocking your way. These need to be destroyed by a particular
weapon before you can continue on your journey.

INLAY CARD TEXT
THE BLACK VOID
Long dark paths have I travelled, through caverns and hidden
labyrinths, my path grown darker... Deathly chill as I approach
the "Well of Evil"... guarding the UNDERWURLDE.
I approach, fix my rope, and with a firm leap, swing down into
the depths of THE BLACK VOID. The air rushes past as I decend
down into the dark dank hollow, disturbing the dust, a debris of
long-since fought battles and struggles.
WINGED HARPIES AND GARGOYLES
Silent fossilised creatures stir, emerging from centuries of
hibernation, awakened by my echoing gropes and thuds. Their
dormant evil, hungry from ages past sparks itself into life.
Suddenly the whole cavern erupts into a scurrying slithering
sadowy grave of beating wings and desperate gnashing jaws.
Winged Harpies soar and swoop down with beakswide and talons
spread. Hungry monsters and reptiles desperate not to lose their
first meal in eons, batter and punish me until I can take no
more, waiting for me to fail.
SIRENS OF THE UNDERWURLDE
All about are strange sparkling plants "Sirens of the
Underwurlde", waving their poisnous gnashing deadly tendrils,
beckoning me on toward them, their stifling odours a prelude to
their vision of hideous ugliness. To touch their sticky putrid
foliage would mean certain death.
BEWARE
ALL YOU NEED IS THERE TO TAKE
LOCATE THE WEAPONS, THEN TO MAKE
A JOURNEY ON IF YOU WOULD DARE
TO FIND THE DEVIL IN HIS LAIR
THE LONG DARK PALACE, SEEK YOU WILL
THE GEMS YOUR POCKETS WILL NOT FILL
THO' ENERGY THEY'LL MAKE YOU FAST
AND GARGOYLES THEN YOU WILL GET PAST
UP AND DOWN, THE JOURNEY'S SLOW
SO DOWN IS FIRST THE WAY TO GO.
The old travellers words still singing in my head.
UNDERWURLDE VOLCANOS
In the distance the low rumbling of UNDERWURLDE volcanoes can be
heard. Huge plumes of poisonous sulphurous devilish gases roll
along the cavern roofs. As the enourmous bubbles of inert plasma
ascend the natural chimney stack causeways, eroded and forged
from centuries of ancient fires and flames. My journey has only
just begun. I must travel on through this deadly labyrinth of
the UNDERWURLDE to find the ULTIMATE place of darkness, in which
lies the way to my escape.

cave in Sabrewulf he finds himself in the Underwurlde. There are
3 exits out of the Underwurlde. One takes the player to
Knightlore, the other to Pentagram, and the third was supposed
to take you to Mire Mare, but as most Spec-Chums know, this was
never released.

GENERAL FACTS
Underwurlde, and Knightlore, released at the same time, were the
first Ultimate games to feature the fast but hard to run,
hyperload. This was introduced to speed up loading times and
reduce software piracy.
Underwurlde was featured in a Crash "Map the Game" competition.
The prize for the best map was a fantastic pickaxe and shovel
trophey.
