The sorcerer is teleporting you from level to level in search of the Zombie King. Unfortunately, when you materialize you are weaponless. At each dungeon, you must find new weapons and attack the monsters that dwell there. Can you find and slay the Zombie King?
In this micro-game, written in just 24 lines, you can look N, S, E, and W. Enter the direction again to move there, once you’ve peered into the darkness. But beware – many of the monsters are beyond your abilities.
To equip yourself with the weapons you find, enter the label for that weapon; for instance, type “;” to use the sling. So long as you possess the bane of a monster – for instance, the amulet “‘” is the bane of the Mummy – you will fight better against that creature.
