Drol is a 1984 computer game published by Brøderbund. It was originally released for the Apple II, but was later ported to the Commodore 64 and Atari 8-bit. The original list price was USD$34.95. [1]
The player controls a robot flying through a four story maze, attempting to rescue people and cute animals while avoiding traps and enemies such as alien creatures, snakes, eagles, magnets and axes.
There are only three levels, but the game starts over in a more difficult version if the third level is completed. This level is, however, fairly difficult to complete, in good deal because in order to reach the final floor without being eaten by a plant sprouting from out of nowhere, the player must choose between three different trapdoors, and the correct trapdoor varies from game to game.
