(GEN) CPU control (added 24.03.14):
At the game mode selection screen before the game start or during the game, move cursor to the character selection option, hold Down + B on controller 1 then press Start. If done right, you will automatically start a new or continue current game, but now when any encounters appear on the screen, your character will fight automatically, just like your CPU opponent. Anyway, you still can control it yourself and fight if you want, or travel by your own. You can see if cheat is working, when your character will always turn face-to-face to your CPU controlled player if you stay still a while.

While you don't have energizers to eat the cops with, you CAN block them off with walls (or better yet, try to trap them in the corners). When you're finished eating dots, there are two exits for you to escape from the cops.

Caverns of Zoarre (c) 1984 Hanlin III, Thomas

Early ASCII based RPG. The actual graphics are limited to a very small segment of the upper left screen, the rest of the information is presented in text. No enemies nor objects appear on the graphics side, you know about them from the text.

Upon start, you would pick a name for your character and roll for stats. Stats are randomized on every play and you can reroll until you find what you want.

The maps are fixed but the enemies are randomized. The game is quite difficult, as monsters tend to be rather tough.

Designed for MS-DOS
Operates in 640x400 resolution, monochromatic
Can run on a machine as low as the XT
