Early, early MZX game from the Megazeux 1.XX days, which appeared on AOL's Megazeux archive.
Kinda a semi non-linear adventure game, or a newbie's attempt to make a game like Caverns. You change forms and get a staff with infinite ammo in this game, even. You can go to different places from the map but not all of them are necessary to visit or even beneficial--some have glitches near the end... which trap you bad enough that you'd have to exit the game and restart.
The main challenge in playing this game is getting around its bugs. I had to play it in the editor and zap walls where necessary. The absolute hardest thing is the bosses. Not because they're menacing at all, but because if you shoot them one too many times their health goes negative and they effectively become invincible.
Graphics are simply ugly, which was common in the 1.00 days. But ADVenture should serve as proof that they didn't have to be--this is just lack of polish. There is minimal char editing and some things sort of resemble what they're intended to resemble.
Music is Caverns music. I imagine the author downloaded Megazeux and had no idea what .MOD files were, thinking that the Caverns music made up the only MOD music on earth. Hey, this WAS 1995, you gotta understand.
Kinda like ADVenture, but not good like ADVenture.
