The primordial horrors are back! The world is doomed... unless someone takes the situation - and a Colt pistol - in his hands, and fills the murderous nasties with lead. This is the simple plot of Lovecraft Mythos, a platform/shooter game where, in the role of the hero without fear, you will have to proceed by collecting nine keys that will be placed one after the other on the screen, and at the same time avoid or kill the four types of monsters attacking you without pause. Each one of them, from the slightly dangerous Shoggoth to the fearsome Deep One, behaves differently, and it is up to you to find out the best way to deal with them.

Ammunition is limited; to increase it by one unit you must collect the bullets that occasionally appear on the platforms. Upon leaving a screen, you will receive a code to enter to resume the game from the last screen reached. There are eight of them in total: after the last one, the game starts again until you lose all of your lives, in purely "old" style.

Lovecraft Mythos is an absolutely "retro" game: colourful and minimal graphics, beeper sound effects, simple but smooth and fast-paced gameplay. Negotiating its levels will make you sweat a lot, but the classic "just another go" syndrome is guaranteed!
