"Where are you going? The spawners are that way! We need to pick up the food and bombs below us first."
With Dandy you'll enjoy hours of challenging discovery. In this twenty-six level dungeon adventure, cooperation rather than competition is the key to success. You and up to three more players (or one more player on an Atari 1200XL computer) must get past denizens of varying danger. You lose strength each time a monster rams you, and you must constantly stock up on food to rebuild your strength. When the monsters gang up on you, you can fight back with smart bombs, which wipe out all monsters in the area. Should your health deteriorate too much, you wind up in limbo, but another player can revive you by shooting an arrow into a heart. To add to the challenge, you must find keys to unlock secured areas of each maze. After exploring a level, you head for the down disk to warp to the next level.
Once you master all the levels, you can try the higher difficulty levels, and then you can create your own dungeons with the accompanying maze editor. Dandy is certain to become a favorite in your game collection.
