Volcano - not just another game!

The object is to escape the fury of an erupting Volcano. With only five lives the odds are against you. Red-hot lava streams destroy all before them. Your escape route can be through the medieval city, the business or commercial section or via shopping precincts. Falling rocks block your way. Rioters may destroy you. You may fall into the underground passages to be lost forever. You might disappear in the marsh or get eaten in the jungle. When you finally reach a boat to escape to a safe island there may be no rigging! You have to return to one of the many shops to try and collect these...

With forty screens above ground; two-hundred-and-ninety 3D screens below; one-hundred shops and factories in which to find aids to your escape - Volcano is not just another computer game!

Review:

This is a rather simple maze-based adventure with crude graphics that animate at the block level.
