Aztec Challenge

In this, one of US Gold's first ever games, the player assumes the role of an Aztec who has just been chosen for a human sacrifice. His only chance of survival is to escape by enduring a series of seven survival tests.

Each of the tests takes the form of a separate game, and long and difficult they are too! Dodging spears, leaping over pools and negotiating traps are all part and parcel of this survival romp through ancient South America.

The graphics and animation are laughably bad, but Aztec Challenge is oddly enjoyable - mostly due to the silly plot and addictive gameplay!
