Gwobby Strikes Back!

Overview

Gwobby has returned from rescuing Mrs G from the evil clutches of Emperor Nyorb, and everything seems fine. But one day the Nyorbcraft hovers over Dorple, and the renowned burgular Blue Cat drops down and steals Gwobby in his sleep, and takes him back to Nyorb’s base in Cave Cwaddilor. To escape from each chamber, Gwobby has to harbour the power of the Cwaddilor rings, but Blue Cat and Nyorb do whatever they can to stop him escaping, including Nyorb and his henchman the Drogs filling the cave with crazy hazards and contraptions which make the rings harder to reach!

You start the game with three lives and an extra man is awarded at 10,000 points. On each level Nyorb’s Power Orb is protected by a lethal force field; fortunately for Gwobby the underground power supply periodically short-circuits allowing Gwobby to jump and capture it. The power orb can help Gwobby in many mysterious ways as well as providing extra lives on the early levels! Did I mention the limited oxygen? No! Oh well I’m sure you’ll not survive long enough to run out of oxygen!
