Chagunitzu

Description:


Chagunitzu (cha-goo-NIT-zoo)is a compound word from the ancient language of the Aztec Indians. Derived from CHAGUN, meaning “kings” and ITZU, meaning “temple”. Thus, the meaning of Chagunitzu is “The temple of kings”, an Aztec pyramid in southern Mexico
In CHAGUNITZU, you control the adventurous Alabama Smith (his friends call him Al) as he explores and plunders the Aztec pyramid, Chagunitzu. In the pyramid, he will meet many dangerous obstacles, including giant spiders, deadly skeletons, and crossbow traps. Even the walls can be deceiving; they can be invisible, false, or moveable. The path is treacherous and long, and every room is a new puzzle, but with a brave heart, perseverance, strategy, and a lot of luck, Al will make it to the very center of Chagunitzu, where the Crypt of Chagun lies. And then Al must escape again!

Caverns of Kroz

Description:


The Caverns of Kroz is a game of exploration and survival. Your journey will take you through 40 very perilous levels, each riddled with diabolical traps and hideous creatures. Hidden in the deepest cavern lies the priceless Amulet–your quest.
The dungeons contain dozens of treasures, spells, traps, and other mysteries. Touching an object for the first time will reveal a little of its identity, but it will be left up to you decide how best to use it or avoid it. When a creature touches you it will vanish, taking a few of your gems that you have collected. If you have no gems, the creature will instead take your life! Whips can be used to kill nearby creatures, but they are better used to smash through crumbled walls and forest terrain.
You can save a game in progress in order to resume after an interruption or have several tries at a tough level without retracing all previous levels. However, only the status as of the beginning of the current level is saved; anything you did after you entered the level won’t be saved. You’ve got to make it to the end of the level and save again for your later gains to be preserved.
