Mole Mole

Overview

The MSX2 Version of the game 'Mole Mole'. The program itself, however, appears to be the same as the one found for the original Mole Mole on the MSX.

Mole Mole is a puzzle game in which the player has to navigate a rather anthropomorphic mole through side-view single-screen stages, with the goal of reaching the exit after having collected all the fruits on the screen.

The mole can climb the stairs scattered around the levels, or dig tunnels in any direction except upwards. All the levels also include boulders, which will fall down if disturbed by the mole's burrowing activities. As opposed to Boulder Dash variants, the boulders cannot kill the mole or harm him in any way; it is impossible to "die" in the game. However, unless the player calculates the moves with extreme precision, getting irrevocably stuck and restarting the level is a common occurrence.

The only notable difference seems to be the inclusion of the MSX2 logo on the cartridge label and box labels.
