This is a fantasy arcade adventure game, with a ridiculous number of playing keys, where you must find seven rings held in the top seven maze-like levels of a tower, and a key in the bottom dungeon level to escape.

You have a number of weapons to kill the things that inhabit the tower. You can use magic to throw guided fireballs or bouncing lightning bolts. Magic weapons will only fire if a thing is in your line of sight. You can fire arrows at any time and you also have a sword. Potions can be collected to refill your magic. You score points for killing things and recovering the rings.

But beware, some things are very fast and they will attack you on sight. They also possess the same weapons as you do. They can collect potions and open doors just like you can and sometimes even disguise themselves as treasure. They are genuinely scary and cause panic every time they appear.

The nineteen keyboard controls have a bit of an odd layout. But you can get away with using half of them. Graphics are functional and sometimes amusing. Sound is non-existent. I enjoy playing this game despite its many flaws because it has immense character and a sense of being there when you play it. However, it is a bit disappointing that what could have been a truly amazing game is watered down to be only quite good, due to the poor control layout, sheer number of controls and the lack of any audio.
