Cratermaze

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cratermaze was a videogame released for the Turbografx-16 videogame console. It was a slight revamp of a game called Booby Kids released for the Famicom.

In the game, the hero, Opi, is travelling through time with four of his friends when they are captured by the villain Zenzombie. He travels through various eras in time (modern, samurai, future, World War II and prehistory), collecting treasure to open doors to the next era, and kills enemies by digging holes and burying the enemies. Every 15 of the game's 60 levels, Opi rescues one of his friends. Levels 30 and 60 are "boss" levels where an enormous boss character floats around the screen and will kill Opi if they touch him.

The game is modeled after one starring Doraemon for the Turbografx-16, and the friends Opi rescues are based on the anime's characters.
